First Day of School (Again)

Summer vacation down under is over, so the kids went back to school! Brody got to go this time too! Brody is going to Friend Street Kinder. Down here, preschool is called kindergarten, and kindergarten is called prep year. Today he learned that instead of saying it's time to clean up (like they do at home in school), they say it's time to tidy up. The big sand box outside is called the sand pit, and for group time they go sit on the mat (he kept thinking they were saying map - he was expecting them to say carpet).


Taylor and Riley have new teachers and new classes, but they are still at the same school with relatively the same schedule. Riley's teacher is Ms. Tirtilas.

Taylor's teacher is Ms. Rymer. Taylor's grade will be moving into a brand new building on the campus very shortly!

It's about time you kids get back to school! I think a whole month off is a little too much relaxation for the brain! I'm so glad that you all had fun at school. I'm pretty sure that those uniforms make everything easier down there ... I'm still working on getting uniforms up here, especially for Taylor!

Hey, how come Brody doesn't have to wear a uniform? And Taylor and Riley, don't you guys have to wear those "saddle shoes" with your uniforms?

We're not sure why Brody doesn't have to wear a uniform, but I don't think he would mind. He does have a floppy hat from the kinder (with the kinder logo on it), and they will be printing the school logo on some of his shirts - guess that's close enough to a uniform! His hat stays at school in his "bin" along with his sunscreen (otherwise we'd take his picture in it)!

We'll get some more pictures of Brody at his school, since I'm there all the time anyway!!

A lot of the kids do wear black shoes. The girl version look like "maryjanes" or something. They're not that cute and extremely bulky or chunky. Anyway, it is not a requirement, and for now Taylor and Riley want to wear their own shoes - one less thing for me to buy! A lot of kids also just wear tennis shoes.
