seeing as the bledisloe cup is tomorrow and being held here in perth, yesterday madeline and joseph's school had a "wear your favourite rugby colours day" to celebrate. they've done it for the wa derby (our local term for the two perth afl teams playing each other) multiple times and one of the teachers from new zealand was like oh hey, when is it our turn, so the principcal decided it was!
we were a household divided, but not as we thought... joseph was really into watching the olympics and cheering on australia, so he insisted on wearing the australian wallabies jersey, but maddie wasn't having a bar of that and set out on a hunt to get herself an all blacks jersery, finally finding one last minute from a friend of ours. she was so proud to be wearing "dads team." it was a cool dress up day and i'm stoked that our school offers so many extra bonus fun things for the kids.
and to top off the fun, maddie was awarded an honour certificate! she was so thrilled as she's been working really hard in class and it's obviously paid off.
it was given for "being an active learner and attentive listener in class. madeline is consistently on task and completes all work to the best of her ability. keep up the sensational work, madeline!"
