A Great start to 2011

We had a great start to 2011 with children settling down to routines very quickly. It was as though we had never been away! Children enjoyed having stationery boxes with all their goodies.

The whole school went to Hira School and we sang and my dad came to Hira School, with a drink. We did some athletics too. I liked the cup race.

On Friday we went to Hira School. I played on the monkey bars and I can miss a bar. I like the spoon and ball race. The girls sat under the trees for lunch.

Athletic Sports at Hira School

We were very lucky to have a day of athletics at Hira School. We were given a fantastic welcome and run down on what their school was all about. We had a very enjoyable day and tried out all events. It was fun to meet the children and staff of Hira. Here's hoping that we can have a reciprocal day at APS.

We have photos of practice times and also of the day. Children's stories to follow.

Whiskers

Our class rabbit has made a big hit and is definitely part of the class.

The class are very loving to her and she is very friendly in return.

We let her run around the class before school starts in the morning and sometimes after lunch. She is a bit naughty about checking out and sometimes toppling models, which is not appreciated.
