He had a riotous party in a park on Sunday, with family and friends.
It's kind of sad to think of him going to school next year. With a bit of luck, he will retain his imagination, thirst for knowledge, care for others and innocence for some time to come.
When I was a Prep teacher, I tried to foster these qualities. That was a long time ago. I am afraid that children these days might be blinded (or blind-sided) by modern science and technology.
Jemma goes to school next year too. I keep my fingers crossed that these two will get good, kind teachers, who believe in developing the whole child. I wish for old fashioned teachers who will give them a good solid grounding in the basics; teachers who accept that the child has a huge amount to teach them!!
