Turning 10

It's our birthday soon - we're going to be 10. I keep telling people we're 10 but technically we're not 10 yet. But I don't know any nine year olds who can't wait to be 10 (and I know nearly 200 nine year olds).

We've come such a long way - building our school from a tiny community of 264 students and 12 classes to a massive 1120 and 45 classes. It's been a wild and rewarding ride and we're going to celebrate!

Everyone's getting in on the act - there will be a special Birthday Assembly (of course - our school never goes halves with Assemblies!) with cupcakes, presentations and performances, murals, games and an open day, special 10th birthday handballs all kids will want, a movie of our 10 years, and the opening of the time capsule and the closing up of it again until our 25th. We will celebrate all those children turning 10 with us this year. It's going to be great fun.

I can't wait to be 10!
