Scarlett had her last day of the school year yesterday. There was a present for Scarlett's beloved teacher Miss Ward and for a few of the mums who had gone above and beyond and then there was a general scrum for chocolates, festive cookies and a pile of other stuff all the kids bring in on the last day. The year 6 kids, who are away to high school next year, as well as a couple of teachers who are leaving, had to run the gauntlet of a students archway before saying goodbye to Annandale Public for the last time.
We finished off an emotional day with a family Christmas dinner with our next door neighbours before we all head off on holidays.
Today Scarlett and I spent an active day racing between air-conditioned buildings and the car, dropping off presents, buying sunhats, getting my hair cut, and hanging out at the pool - 39 degrees again and the whole state is under a fire ban and yet the fires rage. As I type, the girls are struggling to slep despite ceiling fans and wet flannels and Rob is in the garden in his speedos (It's 8.40pm) hosing himself down. Ridiculous.

Great to read that Scarlett experienced a very rewarding first year at Annadale School. The remarks made by her teacher reflect a lot of the many, varied and wonderful opportunities and activities she has been encouraged to be involved in through her life. What a marvellous start - well done Scarlett, parents and school. Margaret - in Masterton
