Children at school

Here are the children outside our new house on their first day of school in new school uniforms. It is uncertain from this photograph whether or not Sam is wearing underpants - he seems to think going "commando" is great fun. They have both settled into the new school very well. Last week Sam won the "Star of the Week" award for his class for "persisting with all activities until they are completed to the best of his ability," and now has a large purple certificate recording his award. He has a new friend called Patrick who invites himself to our place on most nights and plays football with Sam at every opportunity. Hannah has had a couple of playdates with new friends, been to one birthday party and is looking forward to the class sleepover next term, when the class will spend the night in the classroom.
