School is finally out. Maisie is no longer in primary school and the end of the year/farewell/last social activities were fast and furious. Here's a quick look at a few events of the past two weeks:
First was International Day. The kids were taught different national dances. Maisie's class learned an Indian dance and they performed it brilliantly!
Next came Sports Day where the kids compete in track and field events and just enjoy the outdoors. You'll notice that most people are wearing jackets since it was a very non-summery 58 degrees! In this competition the kids had to see who could stand on one foot the longest.
Below was a "charity run" where the parents donated money (for a school in Ghana) for each lap the kids completed. Maisie had her fan club to help her around the track.
Maisie also had an end of the year Harp Concert. Here is a photo of her with her teacher. I'll upload the concert footage on youtube here soon. They only had about 5 weeks of lessons between the last concert and this one so all of the performances were a little rough but still great.
I had an "end of the season and farewell to those who are moving on" hike with my hiking group. We planned a potluck picnic and enjoyed it on the peaks of Rocher de Naye
Here is a photo of Ida (who organizes the hikes) leading the pack walking down toward Montreux.
Not last and not least (I'm sure there was another get together I forgot to document), we had a picnic for the Year 6 class on the last day of school. Here is Maisie with her teacher Ms. Williams
and here's a photo of Maisie and the boys, Noah, Dennis and Ignasi, who will all be moving back to their home countries this summer. We will miss all of our friends so much!!
Well, now it's summer time. We'll be spending most of ours with family and friends in Phoenix. We hope you enjoy yours wherever you may be!
