School days






Sam and Bella have finished their 3rd week of school. Bella just goes for the morning. We knew Bella would be ok. Being around hardly any other children normally, we were correct in hoping she would love being with other children.

Sam on the other hand was moving out of his 'nursery' class into a conventional classroom with a 'real' teacher. He was terrified especially as Eric is tall, dark and scary looking to a 5 year old. But all is fantastic. Eric is a gentle giant and Sam loves the new lesson structure. Tuesday he came home for lunch and stayed at home with a cold and for the first time asked if he could go back. A result for both of them.

  1. Oooooo - I love that fun chalkboard wall.

    My youngest had a tall man for her 2nd grade teacher. At first she was a little timid, but he was wonderful and it was one of her favorite years ever.

  2. I am so glad your two are settling in to the routine. It's such a time of change for them and for us. I feel like I do a lot of to-ing and fro-ing at the moment and am mighty glad it's Friday! Have a great weekend. x

  5. Great teachers make smooth transitions all the more happier. though strangely enough - both my girls prefer male teachers.

    Have a wonderful weekend,

  8. It's lovely to hear that your little ones have settled into school well ... it's been good here too although my second little boy is a little too partial to getting out of his seat in the classroom ... something for his teacher to work on, I'm sure :) ... Bee xx

  11. Yay, so glad Sam is enjoying school (and Bella too). I remember being little and being scared of teachers and it's horrible. x
