Winter Uniform

Kait and Sam have a winter uniform that they wear on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. So Kait is in her blouse, tunic and tie. Sam is in his pants, shirt, tie and jumper (sweater). They both have their hats! Sam is wearing the hat he earned from Cross Country. It has "sports representative" embroidered on it. You might think these uniforms are really strict--but every school --public and private wear uniforms similar. The colors, stripes and plaid may differ but the general style is the same. On Tuesday and Thursday, they wear the same sports uniform as they wore in the summer. On really cold days they also have track pants an jackets.

OK, really, really cold is a 10 degree day. That is Celsius. So translated to Fahrenheit it is about 50 degrees. Most winter days are in the 60's 0r 15-19C. Today it is to be 20C so about 70F. It is June and that is a winter month here. So it would be comparable to December at home. The restaurants still serve outside on the warmer days. And surfers are still out in the water. So don't feel too sorry for us as you are enjoying the warm summer days!
This is one of Sam's mates at school--Brock. He and Sam have a lot of fun together!

Brock's mom, Renee, is a good friend of mine and his sister, Bronte, and Kait are great friends.

Renee is part of a wonderful group of women, most are year 5 mom's, that I meet every Friday for coffee. I need to get a photo of them on here, as they have been really great friends. It is nice when others make you feel just one of the group!
