So, the year is starting to settle down to routine again. There was a bit of upheaval at Jack’s school initially because they get more enrollments then they’d planned on (a rare occurrence by all accounts) and so had to create an extra class. Pretty much all of the school’s classes are combined, so you get year 1/year 2 classes, year 3/4 clases and year 5/6 classes. Only this year, because they had so many new kids, they could afford to bring on another teacher and thus create a new year 2/3 class.

Anyway - we had a letter home saying that there’d be some upheaval and that there was a possibility that your child would be moving class. They finalised those moves at the start of the week and as far as Jack was concerned (but not us), it was all bad news. Firstly, they moved his main out-of-hours playmate from his class. Secondly they moved his main in-hours playmate from his class. Thirdly, he wasn’t moved into the year 2/3 class.
