it was esther’s prize giving today so i worked from home and popped out for nearly three hours (!) to watch. the event itself was just less than 2 hours but i got there early to reserve some seats. esther got an ‘excellence certificate’ and then an ‘outstanding achievement’ trophy and medallion for Science.
lots of her friends got prizes too so that was good. it was a bit of a strange thing though as one particular girls seemed to win most of the prizes and went home with about a dozen trophies (literally) including one about the size of a penny farthing. still, i suppose that’s teaching kids about life. or something.
and now esther has finished school for the summer holidays. jane doesn’t finish for another week. and kezia doesn’t finish until we arrive in britain (so she’ll leave a day early)
i ended up working until 7.30pm this evening to make up for the time i’d missed earlier and get a piece of work finished. jane took the girls to swimming. during the day jane was out on some school trip for the day which sounds like fun but probably wasn’t.
this evening we watched some family telly then jane and i watched Secret and Lies to start getting us back in to the spirit of britain.
