Emma's First Day at School!

Yesterday, was Emma's first day at "big school". She has been eagerley awaiting this day and was only too happy to say goodbye to us once we dropped her off. The transisiton program was a great idea, as when we got there yesterday morning, she sort of knew what to do and where everything went. Her teacher, Miss Delia, is a lovely lady and I think she will be a great teacher and mentor for Emma.

School these days has certainly changed since I was there - instead of reading out the roll to see how was present and who was away, each classroom has an interactive projector screen. Each morning as the kids come in, they find their name on the screen and "pop" the balloon with their name in it!! Amazing!! I may actually have enjoyed school if they had this stuff back then!!

Today Emma was a bit teary and didn't want me to go, but I think this was becasue she was wanting to have a go on the computers, which wee already taken up with some of the other kids. Hopefully when i pick her up this afternoon she will have had a good day.
