Hi all...

Hey- how good are you at Greek history??? Can you name this structure????

I have scrubbed out the name of this structure from Sarah's project so I can give away a RAK- everyone who answers correctly will go into a draw!! Come on...here's a hint...that is the Greek goddess of wisdom at the front!!!! (Kim G - you are not allowed to enter as Emily did the same project!!!!!)

How cool is this project!! Sarah is in year 5 and her class have been studying Greek mythology- I have learnt more in the past few weeks from Sarah than I ever knew from my own schooling!!! Their project was to construct one of four structures. Sarah absolutely loved doing hers- she chatted and told me all about the structure and the related Gods etc while she built it.

I went into Sarah's class this afternoon when I picked her up and I also checked out all the other kid's structures- boy some were fabulous!!! I really loved the Trojan Horses- that's what I wanted Sarah to construct however she had her heart set on constructing ???????. Go on, have a guess and you may win a yummo RAK- nothing to lose really. (I will post a RAK overseas too!!)


Not much else has been going on. As Mum is in Bunbury, I have been going up to see Dad every second day. (Someone has to do his washing as the hospital doesn't!) The last few times I have been in Perth I have been managing to squeeze in a bit of shopping (gotta love that!) I know this sounds terrible but I could shop everyday and not get sick of it!!!!


Tomorrow evening Sarah has her interview for Iona- the high school we have chosen for her. I am feeling very excited for Sarah, not at all nervous, for as much as I'm sad that my first born is growing older, I'm excited that she is beginning a new chapter in her life. I am comforted however by the fact that high school is still 18 months away despite her being interviewed now! I am not really worried about Sarah getting offered a place, in fact if I can sound conceited, I honestly believe this is just a formality. Still, it is very exciting for Sarah and she is in her own mini dilemma of what to wear- LOL!!!

What ever you are doing, I hope it is wonderful.
Have a safe and happy week.

Love Janine xxx

Good luck to Sarah for her interview! I'm sure she'll wow them.

Love the project she did. I haven't a clue - my knowledge of Greek mythology is sadly lacking.
