Reece's Xmas Play











Reece's Xmas play at school took place on the last day of school. The two pre-primary classes got together and put the play on for the whole school. Reece was Joseph and we did not even know that he was Joseph until about 3 days before the play when one of the parents told us. Most of the kids did all of the talking and the a couple of the kids acted out everything. It was very cute as they had modernised the play, so we had quite a few giggles. In fact I was recording the play on video and when we played it back you can hear me have a giggle in the background.

We were then given the opportunity to spend the morning with them have some tea and cake and then it was back to work. (very sad I know!)


In the last term the kids are all taken to the local swimming pool and given swimming lessons. There is a government program here that teaches the children to swim and then they are graded at the end of the period. There are also programs at all of the local swimming pools and beaches to continue with the program and it is really cheap. It is quite a big thing in Australia that kids know how to swim, so beneficial to all.

Reece ended off school one week before Xmas and they will only be going back on 1st Feb........ not sure how we are going to keep him busy but I am sure we will cope.

Bye
