On Monday morning I went to the high school to watch their school assembly for the first time. It has been well over twenty years since I last watched a high school assembly. It's hard to believe they have the same seating like the ones we used when I was in high school. On this day, I witness many year 8 and 9 students receiving certificates (bronze, silver and gold levels) for SWPBS (ie high achievement marks for effort and behaviour on their report cards). Monique was one of them and she got the Gold plus level which means she got all top achievement marks in all subjects. I heard these students will be invited to a school breakfast which got to be TBA soon I assume.
On Tuesday afternoon Rachel went to the same chiropractor to have her spinal examination done. Looks like she might require chiropractor adjustments done too as the DR found she's got some tightness in her neck (ie that's probably related from a baby issue she was born with) and her hip seems to be out of alignment too. But we will wait for our next appt next week to see the x-ray results to give the actual report of her health.
On Tuesday night I went to the monthly P and C meeting at the primary school. It seems our recent fete went well but not all the final details have been finalized as yet to say how much profit was made. Last night Rachel and I went back to school for their family night of Maths and English. A special guest from a particular University came in to discuss the importance of Maths. Since afew families with junior grades was there, the guy showed them how to do the basic subtraction. Do you remember the good old primary days with basic Maths? How did you learn the basic number of 100s, 10s and so on? Did you use the tally column system or something else different?
Monique had to prebowl for all leagues this week as she's got a big serious tournament to play in Brisbane this weekend. She bowls in a five man team and each player bowls 18 games over two days. The tournament starts from around 7:30am and probably finish by 5-6pm on each day. We just packed some high energy foods for her to have during bowling. She will get an hour's break for lunch over the weekend which I probably buy something from the centre. I had a busy couple of days preparing some craft items to take and do while she's bowling.
Better go as I need to prepare dinner for my family. Have a good weekend!
