Jaimee graduates from B1!

Today Jaimee completed her first FULL year of school.  She came home with a bundle of books and paperwork galore, as well as a stunning report.  She is achieving "above average" in all areas again, and check out all these ticks - I am so proud of her efforts.  She is doing so well that she is moving up with the older kids in the class next year to be in 'W5' with a new teacher (although she still will be year 2).





 As you can read from her 'writing' report, her teacher thinks she does some pretty awesome story writing, which I am pleased to pounce on as possibly something that stems from her mother and Granny!  We also love to write stories (and blogs) and poetry so keep it up Jaimee, we love your stories.  Rather then keep everything, here is a sample of her work from Year 1 (class B1) at school:

30/10/12: 
(this story is obviously based on a familiar legend and was written over 5 full pages in her story writing book!)

"Lets go fishing in the sea to get some food so we can eat our own food".  Up comes the sun.  It was racing across the sky and jumps back into bed.  Then it went dark, then they didn't have time to play 'go fishing' (or) go to the ice skating place.  They they had a idea, so they chopped some flax and then they made it into a rope by scraping the green off it and then after they wove it into a net they all marched where the sun comes up.  "I'll tell you when to throw the net over...NOW!!!!!" Shouted Maui. And then the sun rose to begin it's fast journey and suddenly he got cold, then Maui hit the sun with his magic bone from his grandmother.  Then the sun wriggled and screamed and yelled and then said "let me go!".  "If you promise to slow down" said Maui.  "Ok" said the sun.  Then they had time to fish and go to work.  And they all lived happily ever after. The end.
