Every Friday morning at DUCKS reception take part in a Magic Book assembly. Two children in each class get their names in the Magic Book and a certifice. Last Friday William got his name in the Magic Book, for being kind to new friends, and had to go up in assembly and receive his certificate from the headmistress. Sam and I had been concerned firstly, that the teacher should not feel she had to award the Magic Book to William and Oliver at the same time and secondly, how William and Oliver would react if one got it and the other didn't. Oliver rose to the occassion. Miss Nesil told me how he was pleased for William and when I picked them up at lunch time Oliver told me he was 'so excited' for William and that he would 'try to get it soon'!
On the way home and over lunch we talked about how to celebrate and William decided he'd like to have a picnic and an ice cream by the river and so we did! It ended up being an excellent decision as the weather was fantastic and we were able to enjoy a brilliant sunset.
What beautiful sunset pics! And congrats to William on his certificate - it's so exciting for kids to receive something like that, isn't it? I'm sure Oliver will get his soon as well! x
