cold and wet Very interesting blog from Simon. It all sounds a bit wild. I dont like the sound of those toilets.
I guess you could have a bad-hair cafe day anywhere in the world. You certainly know how to choose them! Is Julian looking forward to cooking Sunday roast? I hope so!! Love getting your news - keep it coming! Love gs
Cold & wet Glad I'm going to New Zealand in December!! However, it sounds as if you're making the best of it. It's great to read about your adventures.
My Daughter, Anna (in Australia), has just had the baby. She is called Honey Tallulah. Apparently Tallulah is native American for 'leaping water' - thought that would make you smile!

intrepid travellers Well .. your blog today made me shiver .....hope your motel was warm. Fairwell Spit didn't look like that when we were there. It was all golden and sunny but it was their summer. The tourist bus (very controlled for conservation reasons )went right along the beach.and the wind was very strong ,coming straight from Antarctica.!!!! Are you in North Island now? Wherever you are take care of each other and have a LOVELY time !!!!!!!! l o l A + T
Hi :-) Hi Rach, it's great to see you're having so much fun. How brave are you for walking over that bridge?? Were you scared? Mum says she'd be shouting I'm a celebrity get me out of here! (embarrasing) Missed you at dance tonight it was the last one until after the hols. Josh says hi to Simon and did he find any treasure?
Love Jess x x x x x
Update Everybody is so jealous. New Zealand looks very beautiful. All of Class 5 wanted to say that they are missing Rachel and that they look forward to catching up with her after the holidays. It is class change day tomorrow, so Mrs Leigh will need reminding that she will have one more come September. Year 6 Graduation assembly is on Thursday, so we will all need our tissues. Keep updating the blog. It's so exciting!

I am so annoyed that I didn't say goodbye but I kept thinking it was ages away!! We miss you but are so pleased things are going well, I am sure the welcome in NZ will improve once you have all had a good sleep! Big hugs to you all xo xo
Update Just at the end of our school day. Looks like you're having a fantastic time. We wish we were there with you. Sydney Harbour looks awesome! We are on our final literacy unit - based on the book 'The Ghost of Thomas Kempe'. We're really enjoying it. Keep updating the blog. Class 5.
Hi you seem to be having a great time and doing lots of stuff, the Sydney opera house looked amazing. Not much happening here - we are having a mixture of very hot days and then some heavy rain. Went to a barbeque yesterday - I expect you will be doing a lot of those - and drank too much but it was good fun. Have just had to deal with a student who has faked his results - not so much fun. Hope you have a great time in NZ and look forward to seeing the pictures.
hooray! Hooray a photo of Julian! It does all sound rather exhausting . Good job you will have loads of photos to remind you of all these antics. Off to Paris now - back in 5 days. Keep the blogs coming! GS
WOW! Antipodean greetings The photos are amazing! Can you get Julian on one? Is he really there?
It all looks so interesting. Wimbledon wobble - Murray out in semis and epic final won by Federa (just). My grandchildren were on Manly beach last year!! Keep blogging it is wonderful. Off on short trip to Paris myself! Love GS
