Friday 27 June

"Doing nothing is the most tiring job in the world, because you can’t stop and take a rest."

Being Friday the school day commenced with Assembly and this week Grade 5 had the honour of performing for the school. Trophies were given out with one of the smallest boys in the school receiving two. If you had put them end to end, they would almost be as tall (or short) as he was.

Apparently after school yesterday some students ‘had fun’ throwing sand at the open pre-school windows. Naturally the sand landed inside. The pre-school teacher asked the students responsible to stand up. Immediately one girl stood but the rest of the students remained seated. The teacher kept asking for the others, but no-one moved. Eventually however the girl’s eyes revealed who her co-conspirators were and three boys eventually raised themselves up. Guilty faces, plain for all to see. You almost felt sorry for them!

Dinner was at the Kikau Hut where we were joined by James, Debi’s husband. The food was delicious and we even treated ourselves to two desserts, shared between the four of us – chocolate cheesecake and banofee pie. Then we waddled home.
