First day of Grade 4 for Adie and Grade R for Beth and Cate. Cate and Beth are in different classes from this year. Cate was a little quiet (but smiling) as we all took her to her class and new teacher. As for Beth she basked in the experience of being a little independent , she couldn't chase us out the calss quick enough so she could be with her teacher. They reunited at break with their other friends and have taken it all in their stride, still looking forward to school on Monday. Adie has a strict teacher who reported that he tells the most amusing stories ever. He was more subdued about school this year, but is settling in well.
