Student of the MONTH!!!!

I was supposed to be writing a post about my weekend away at Simons Town but before I could get that together Abigail came walking through the school gate with a big "Student of the month" ribbon pinned to her dress! So here we are with this post:

Every week there is an assembly on Monday mornings at school. At assembly 1 or 2 children from each class are awarded with the Student of the Week award. Abigail has received that a couple of times. Then, on the first Monday of each month they hand out the Student of the Month award. One child from each class is awarded for something that they have done well or excelled in or even just persevered in, it is sometimes academic, sometimes sport orientated, sometimes it's to do with arts and culture or even socially. Each recipient is given a ribbon (or rosette) and a certificate and they get to have lunch with the principal in the library.
Today Abigail was given the award for grade 2 for her progress in swimming. She is doing really well and keeps talking about getting into the team!! Anyway, she was very chuffed with her award and is very excited about her lunch with Mrs. te Water tomorrow.

Here she is with her rosette and certificate which has now been added to the wall of fame in our passage!!!

"The Wall of Fame"!!!!!
