First we heard about Queenie's excellent effort in getting a Class Prize for General Excellence at her recent Speech Night. Then Domestic Goddess' daughter Fashionista got a Class Prize at her Speech Night. I can now report that we have a Trifecta with KelpieBlossom taking out the Special Award for Citizenship and General Proficiency at her Presentation Day today.
You go girls!
Not to be outdone, Padawan Learner's Year 1 class shone in their final assembly item yesterday. Their fabulous teacher Mr B plays guitar and accompanied the class as they sang Aussie Jingle Bells loud and proud. Rumour has it that they were going to finish their class item with a rendition of Smoke on the Water but Mr B thought he might be in trouble with the school Principal if he played Deep Purple at a school assembly.
We parents would've supported you Mr B! *
* in breaking news it seems the new Russian president would also have supported the playing of Deep Purple at the school assembly!

We just need to find some troops for General Excellence (x2) and General Proficiency to lead into battle.
Well done KelpieBlossom! And I would have liked to hear Padawan Learner's class item! What's wrong with a little Deep Purple at assembly?
Don't you love the terms! We also had loads of "consistent efforts".
Then there were year awards for Craft, Library, ESL etc. Not sure what you do for a library award.
Make that a quadrella!
Brennan won his school's talent quest by playing Joan Jett's 'I Love Rock and Roll' on his electric guitar while a mate sang and another danced. Isn't it nice to have talented kids!!
Congratulations to KelpieBlossom - that is lovely news.
I wonder if some time down the track Queenie and KP might be college friends too.
Well done Brennan! Our talent quest is next week. KelpieBlossom tells me she is DEFINITELY NOT going in it. The Joan Jett number would've been worth seeing!
I'm with Fairlie.... what's wrong with a little Deep Purple?
Yay Kelpieblossom. Aren't you girls raising a brilliant lot of children!
Love the knitting in the previous post.... even though I'm jealous of your talents! And the calling card is gorgy too.
I feel the need to add that my daughter, Keira, also received her class' Academic Achievement award!
Very proud - although by the time she received it she had worked herself into such an anxious state it took two days to recover!!
Well done to everyone.
(Also, wanted to add that I love hot water bottles too.)
Deep Purple is spiritual in my book.
Well done to your children. You must be so proud.
Well although as you pointed out that there were 'loads' of consistent effort awards handed out, I am very proud of my Miss A for being a recipient of one (it just goes to show how different they are at school than at home).
My giggle was at the terms "general proficiency" and "consistent efforts". I'm not quite sure what they really mean.
And yes, you total fibber, your Miss A is obviously more conscientious than you admit!
We need to start a bloggers' children hall of fame! Well done to Queenie, KelpieBlossom, Fashionista, Brennan, Keira and Miss A.
I appoint them all to the title of General Blogworthiness.
