April+2017

Easter was a big focus this month - Esther counted down the days til Easter Sunday and talked a lot about what Easter Bunny may bring her - hopefully a Humpty Dumpty Egg! She was very excited on Easter Sunday and happy with her haul. Over the school holidays she spent some time with her friend Eden and with the whole family down at Merimbula. She enjoyed splashing at the beach, a magic show at Boydtown, exploring a wildlife park, riding her bike along boardwalks, fishing (we caught a fish!), putt putt golf and a great morning at Magic Mountain - phew! Still enjoying school and learning more and more - she is now starting to read and it is magical to see her comprehending and working out words. Esther also did very well at cross-country - coming first in 5 yrd old girls and second overall for 5 yr olds!
