Ella's start at Summerland

Visit number 1

Because the girls are in Piha Pod together I got to be there with Ella when Faith incidentally got a certificate for a big improvement of comprehension with her reading. Ka pai Faith!  haha  

2nd Visit

This girl is a superstar at colouring in. I thought when she picked this up and said it was hers that she'd got the wrong one cause this one must have been the teacher's one, but no, it's my girls

1st day of school with a semi puffy face.....so cool that Dad got to be there for it cause he thought he had the day off work, but he actually got called in about an hour later, so he was just blessed to be able to be there for the momentous drop off

Too shy to look at the camera

So coy! Sitting with Mrs Landon as we walked out the door

1st hot chocolate from the coffee pod (and last for a while, although she keeps asking every morning if she can have another one)

My 2 pink tupperware girls sit together for morning tea and lunch

Lucky I emptied her pockets after the first day before putting the jumper in the wash. This is quite the collection Ella!?!?!?!

Faith's home school work that I made her do after Ella's first week. Pretty happy with how her writing's coming along, especially using full stops and capital letters. Will have to talk to her about moving from multiple simple sentences to a few compound sentences as well.

So cool to drop the little sissys off at the fence now, and even better to walk in with a girl on each hand when I'm working!
