The next school year will begin in a school in the next town for Gwen in August. Not because she has reached any kind of transition milestone but just because the local school is small and stops at Year 6. Over the years they have established a range of traditions for the school leavers, one of which is dressing up and entertaining the younger children after they have had coffee with the teachers. So the pictures shows Gwen in her costume. But which decade had they chosen? Was it the sixties, the eighties or the nineties? Use the comment function to have a guess. One thing the Year 6 children do is dish out sweeties to the other children and Gwen said she had been attacked for her sweets on Thursday! ‘I’m sure we were never that bad at their age!’
Wednesday was Big Bath Day when the whole school traditionally goes to the beach and has sand sculpture competitions. The children had been told they would not go if it rained and it did rain almost continuously as well as hailing at some point. But still the trip was not cancelled and the children ended up sheltering in the public toilets waiting for the worst of the weather to blow itself out and hoping the bus would come soon. The girls came home soaking wet and not terribly impressed with their day.
