A couple of budding orienteers at Smith's Reef

Shoes don't stay this colour for long!

46 Degrees

We recorded 46.1 on our indoor/outdoor thermometer, which was just short of the Melbourne top of 46.4.
We spent several hours at Westfield Doncaster with a few thousand other people, most just aimlessly wandering around. We managed to keep the house reasonably cool when we returned home.

Grade 1

Mason is now a big Grade 1 boy and appears to have settled very well into 1/2 Tanya. He has enjoyed catching up with all his friends, and, even though some are in other classrooms, he plays with them at playlunch and lunch time. He took his Big Book of Knowledge to school yesterday and was quite chuffed when Tanya (his teacher) read the information about the sun to the class. He was even more chuffed when she asked if he could bring the book back in today.

Torren has started 4 yr old kinder and has also settled in very well. Just think, this time next year, Torren will be starting Prep and Sophie will be starting 3 yr old kinder!
