Week in Review

We've been busy. With only two weeks left of school for this year, there have been plenty of last-minute field trips, sports days, assemblies, open house meet-the-new-teacher stuff, etc.

We started the week with a preschool trip to Moor Farm near the village of Newborough. The kids got to collect eggs and feed the lambs and cows.

Of course, the highlight for Emily was getting to walk the dog back to the barn.

Sports day at the Primary School started with mixed-age teams doing a variety of activities. Emily and I followed Amy's team around the circuit and tried not to embarrass her with too much cheering. Then, we got to enjoy lunch together before the individual races began.

Go red!

The shuttle race: have to pick up the bean bags and deliver them back to the starting point, then sprint down the field. Amy is 4th from the left.

That's Amy on the far-left doing the last sprint as part of the shuttle race. She finished 4th place.

Amy's School House - St. Patrick's - got the most house-points overall for their efforts in Sports Day.

Amidst all of the school-related fun, we also managed a little day trip out to Leicester to see a Preparedness Fair sponsored by our church and enjoyed a nice picnic lunch at Kirby Muxloe Castle.
