Today was LC's first orientation morning, where he got to meet his classmates for next year, play some games, meet the teachers and his older buddy for next year.
He goes back for another morning next week.

Walking up the hill to school - there will be loads of photos from this walk next year! I've been telling LC that we will walk to school every day, and he's been saying ‘not the hot or wet days, Mama’. Well, I caved today at the pick up - it was so hot and smokey from nearby fires that I ended up driving to take him home again. :)

Heading into the classroom with the new students, plus some of the older buddies for next year.

A happy boy after his first orientation morning, in his new school hat for next year. All schools here have a ‘no hat, no play’ rule.
Aww, cute hat!
