School daze

The Juniorette has just finished her first full week of school, which turned out to be quite eventful. A boy in her class has been pulling her hair everyday, but he denied it every time when quizzed by the teacher. Finally the teacher caught him doing it (Lucky for him I have been training the Juniorette in the art of nose breaking)

Her denim jacket went missing from her coat peg, but was then handed in to her teacher a couple of days later.. I guess another kid took it by mistake.

And to top it all, she was punched in the face by a fourth year boy during a break. She didn't cry until back in her classroom as she didn't want the big boys see her cry. An older brother of one of her friends gave the offending puncher a bit of a bollocking.

The Juniorette is really happy with school, and after a start like that things can only get better.

They say kids get really tired when they first start school, but the Juniorette has held up really well so far, and she has to. She had sport at school today, has football training this afternoon, and then after an hours break has swimming club. In the morning her football team are playing in a tournament. It makes me tired just thinking about it, and all I have to do is watch!
