Reece's adventures at school.....

Just to update you all Reece is loving being at school and interacting with all the kids. Quite a few parents have gone up to Heath to mention that they cannot believe how well Reece has fitted in especially that he is in a new country. Well now the work starts for mom and dad as well….. He gets given reading to do every night which he is thoroughly enjoying and cannot wait for reading time.

They are also starting on a couple of exercises to start teaching them about orals so soon he will be sent home a magic box which is left in his room overnight and magically in the morning there is a small little pressie by magic ….. (of course with a little help from two little fairies….mom& dad) He then gets to talk about the treasure that was found in the box.

On Tuesday afternoon he arrived home with a toy dog – he is a Dalmatian called Pongo. Well Bryce was beside himself that Reece had a dog and he did not – very upset with us – he is still sulking in his room (he is getting really good at going to his room to have a sulk lately)….. So for the for the next two days Reece has to take Pongo with him on his daily adventure’s and then we had to take pictures or draw pictures of his adventure. So on Wednesday night daddy (who is such an excellent story teller hehehehehe) together with Reece wrote the story as Pongo’s adventure will continues in someone else’s home. The teacher will also take the opportunity to get Reece to tell his story to the class so again teaching them indirectly about doing orals….. Well so far we have been very impressed with the school and they really get the kids involved in everything.

Wow Reece - "What's happening now..."

On Friday the WA government sponsored a "Walk to school" morning - where they encourage kids to walk to school instead of been driven. They then hold a small breakfast at the school for all kids and parents. Heath has met a couple of South African people who live down the road from us so they all got together and then drove to one road away from the school and then walked with the kids to the school.... all and all lots of fun was had by all.

Lots of love from us all.....
