Ava is a Butterfly

Today was Ava's stage debut. Her class had been reading "Rumplestiltskin" and they wrote their own version of the story. I knew it was written by the children because it was called "Bella Bella Reena Tree Tree Feena". There was a king, a beautiful girl, a little green man (Bella Bella, etc.), his faithful servant, and a lovely group of butterfly helpers. The king also threatened to chop off the girl's head if she didn't turn paper into gold, a story element that would have (unfortunately) been omitted in our former school.

Here's Ava with her friend Loes (it's pronounced "Loose". You can see what I mean when I say Ava doesn't stand out much at school with her blond hair and blue eyes.


Here is the king and a few of the butterfly helpers waiting for their cue.










There is assembly every Tuesday morning where students share projects or talents they've been working on in class. It's a great opportunity for the whole school (primary) to share in what each grade level is doing and allows the students the opportunity to perform and speak in front of an audience. It's a great event to attend!
