School Assembly

Last week, it was Anna's classes turn to present an assembly. It is up to the teacher what subject they do and how they present it. Anna's teacher decided to do a Christmas theme and it was called, "Santa takes on Survivor".

Anna was cast as a reindeer and had some lines and a dance to perform. She did amazing and we were all very proud of her!

Below are some photos ...

Ear's Pierced

On Friday I took Anna to get her ear's pierced for her 7th birthday. It hurt me more than her ...

Pjamarama Birthday Party

On Saturday it was Anna's 7th birthday and we had a Pjamarama Birthday Party. Anna invited 13 girls and so I enrolled the help of a company, 'Parties Kids Remember' to help!

All the girls had to wear PJs and I had made party bags as pillow cases. Parties Kids Remember had sent two 'hosts' for the party who arrived in their PJs and were brilliant! They started by putting makeup on the girls, then moved on to decorating a pillow for Anna, making jewellery and playing games. While all this was happening, I was free to make the food.

Anna and the girls had a great time and it was the most stress free birthday party I have organised. I'll definitely be using them again!

Little Athletics

Little Athletics is an organisation that runs throughout Australia. Anna has joined the Bateman and Bull Creek Club. To give you an idea of size, there are five Clubs that make up the Melville Centre and there are nine Centres in WA. In the Melville Centre alone, there are 600 kids enrolled. No wonder that Australia does well in sport!

There are two training sessions a week and every Saturday there is a competition. So far, Anna has done two competitions. The events that they do (split between two weeks/programmes) are:

• 50m run


• 70m run


• 100m run


• 200m run
  
• 60m hurdles


• Discus


• Javelin


• Long jump


• Shot put

We are very proud of her as she is currently 3rd overall in her age group (Under 7) for the 70m and 200m run. There are about six groups that compete in the Under 7 category each week. From next Saturday these groups will be graded by ability, as all the kids will have completed all the events. Times are recorded electronically. There are no stop-watches here!!

Parents have to get involved on competition days, by helping out with the organisation/events. As you can imagine, with 600 kids going every week it's a mammoth task. Next week it's our turn and I have nominated Nige for the task!

Rollerblade Queen!

Anna has become the "Rollerblade Queen"!
