Ben is happily in his Year 1 Class, with the added bonus that his closest friend from last year's Kindy class is in his new class.

I must say he looks very big compared to all the new Kindy kids, who started yesterday - doesn't seem like 12 months has passed since he started school, and I was milling around the Kindy class rooms.

Madeleine and I have moved up to the Year 1/2 waiting area now..

And in a little quirk of fate, Ben is in the same classroom that I was in in Year 1 (waaaaay back in 1974).
