Katy's is at Preschool!

Katy's preschool days are Thursday, Fridays and every second Wednesday so she had to wait a few days for her turn to begin school. Crimson Magnetics is Katy's class led by Marny, a new preschool teacher and assisted by Robyn. Unfortunately Katy and Mira ended up in different classes but are still able to play together at recess and lunchtimes.

Katy was as cool as a cucumber on her first day. The drop off routine has changed a little in the elapsed year. Noticeably there often is a rabbit nibbling the lawn as we arrive. I haven't yet established if this is a pet of the preschool or if it's escaped from the next door neighbours! Other changes involve the inclusion of fruit break and students taking their own water bottle (aligning with big school procedures) followed by hand washing before launching into a drawing/reading/puzzle/construction activity and this morning it was stencilling!

Talking about big school, Ella happily takes herself the last 200m to school, parks her bike in the cage and heads off to her classroom. This process is reversed in the afternoon with Ella meeting us at the preschool gate for the ride home although today she forgot to bring her bike!!
