Samantha starts School

I think every parent says it “My little girl or boy is growing up way too fast”. As our little girl headed off to school for her first day we as parents echoed those same words.

Sam had already gotten a taste of what school was like when she did a year of prep last year, but yesterday was her first day at ‘big’ school. In the weeks leading up to the big day she’d gotten very excited as she accumulated all the necessary items. A new dress, shoes and bag were all among the items that she had for her first day. I must say "she looked great".

Once at school there were parents and children everywhere, some crying, some nervous but most were excited. Sam took it all in her stride. A kiss goodbye to Mum and Dad and she was off. It was as though last year simply rolled into this year.

Her class is ‘K Banksia’ and Mrs Blass is her teacher. Sam instantly made a new friend and hasn’t stopped talking about what she does at school. Lets hope she’s blessed with more brains than her Mum and Dad.

Glad to hear it was a positive experience for all. Alana has been excited about starting year 1 too.
