At the girls' school, they have a sequence of yearly activities that build on each other. Preps have a breakfast (brekkie) at the school, and the Year 1's have a dinner. Year 2's have a sleepover at the school, and Years 3-6 have sleep-away-from-home camps, with longer stays for the older kids.
Last week was Aliya's dinner. It was just for the kids, no parents allowed, which they made quite clear:

The kids were allowed to choose a partner to sit with. Aliya chose her friend from the first day of school, Michaela.

But Aliya definitely has not forgotten her BFFs from home. Each student made a laminated placemat to use for the dinner.

The menu was standard kid-friendly fare: veggie appetizer plate, spaghetti with or without sauce, breadsticks with or without butter. Dessert was Frog on a Pond. Yes, I had to look that up. Turns out it's a chocolate frog on jello jelly:

Still can't see your pictures. :( Except for the frog one, which looks phallic. :)
ReplyDeleteI seriously have no idea why pics keep breaking. I use Picasa to upload them to the blog, that seems to be the source of the problem, because when I link them manually they work. Hmmm. Okay, I changed the frog picture!
ReplyDeleteI'd be interested to hear how you're finding the curriculum at the school, and how it compares to back home.
