Grade 6 – Mummy To Twins Plus One

The kids are enjoying being the grade 6 kids at school, they now the big kids.

At first, when the teacher said grade 6 line up here and grade 5 line up here, the girls thought they were still in grade 5. However, it didn’t take long for them to remember they are indeed the grade sixers and not grade 5 kids anymore.

Both girls got teachers they are happy with and are in classrooms next door to each other, so this is a nice way to end their primary school education. I am so glad that they are happy as it makes it so much easier dealing with such huge changes this year.

The twins were super excited to put themselves forward for house captain and vice-captain, one of the girls got vice-captain and the other was unsuccessful. I did explain that this can happen and told her how sorry I was that things did not work out as she wanted them too.

She was rather annoyed and angry that most of the kids that got in didn’t even write a speech and just stood up and boasted about what they could do for the team and the school and how good they were. Hugs with mummy were needed and some chats about how one kid will get something wonderful and the others won’t and then it will be the others turn for something wonderful to happen and then the other will miss out. It is the way the world works and life. Also sometimes there is only one position up for grabs so if they both go for it only one kid can get it.

Chocolate was eaten and more cuddles and chats helped this kid feel better. Geez, I think there will more of this happening as they progress with schooling and enter high school. Hopefully, they will be interested in different things and not compete with each other for roles at the school.

As it is now week 2 of term 1, it is I think a good start to the last year of the primary journey for the twins.

How is your little one going with school this year? Maybe they are not so little and are also the big kids at the school.

Year Six Eve

Today is the day before the twins start year six…otherwise known as Year Six Eve.

I still cannot believe my little girls are nearly finished primary school.

This growing up thing has snuck up on me and I know it has happened gradually…however, lately, I’ve noticed how grown up my girls are looking lately. In recent photos, they are really looking like young ladies rather than girls.

The girls are excited and nervous at the same time about starting grade six this year.

Big year, the twins start grade 6 – The last year of primary school

So what are they excited about?

Seeing their friends
Being the big kids at the school
Finding out what teacher they each get and of course who’s in their class
Getting their year six jumper
Going to the local high school to find out more and to experience what it’s like to be at high school

What they are nervous about?

Being in grade six – the work that might be involved for the big kids at school
Leaving primary school for high school next year
Not getting the teacher they want
Not being a class with their friends
Soon to be in high school

It is a HUGE year for the twins, and also the last year before they are teenagers. Although you would think from their attitude that they are already teenagers.

The girls from my insistence have packed their bags for school tomorrow and I’ll check if they have their uniforms sorted as well. I want to be organised for the first day to ensure that we are not late, as we have to drop Alexander off to care that morning as well.

I’m keen for school to go back but not keen on all the things that go with it during the term, after school activities, getting lunches ready, and being a taxi for everything and everyone. I quite liked not doing any of these things.

So wish us luck for the start of term 1 and one that I feel will be a big year for everyone. It only feels like yesterday that the twins started at the primary school and now it is their last year at the school.
