First day of Term

It was back to school today for Hannah. But this wasn't just any old first day of term, it was her first day at secondary school so something of a big deal. Well, a big deal for Juliet and me, as Hannah seemed to take it very much in her stride telling us to stop fussing about and getting all emotional. It's hard not to, though, when you feel so proud of your daughter and she looks so grown up and smart in her new uniform.

All set for the first day at Secondary School

It doesn't really seem so long ago that Hannah was about to embark on her first day in Reception. Was it really seven years ago?

So, a new chapter begins. No more dropping off and picking up from school for me now. Hannah will be walking to and from school with her friends from now on. It feels like an independence day of sorts. I hope that Hannah enjoys her new school as much as she has enjoyed her two primary schools. With her natural enthusiasm, I'm sure she will make the most of all the opportunities that will come her way.
