Luckily Pete's real teacher, Mr Botello, was on hand to wish him a virtual "all the best" and to helpfully remind him to read every day and listen to his parents. He also told us how honoured he was to have Pete in his class and what great parents we were. I blushed and agreed.
After that it was all about the celebrations, which included cakes made by Hannah and some chicken nuggets passed over the garden fence by Levi, followed by a Zoom call with many of Pete's class. Moving to 2nd Grade doesn't usually involve the fantastic American movie graduation ceremonies and proms, but it was still a little wistful to see all the kids together who have been apart for so long.
And as for The Davies School? Well, despite the teaching accolades, there are whispers it is not going to pass its forthcoming inspection so we're closing down and making all former pupils sign non-disclosure agreements before any legal challenges crop up. Constant prayer will be uttered for the safe reopening of real school in August. Until then, it's the summer holidays! And if I had no clue what I was doing up to now, just wait until you see the next twelve weeks...
Virtual graduation.
You've got to start educating the Champagne palate from a young age.
Hannah's cake. No artificial colours or flavours.
Suddenly a second grader.
Class reunion (with the added benefit of being able to turn down the volume).
