Penny has settled in well to school, as we expected.
On the first few half days, she did suck her fingers a bit as she scoped out the classroom and tried to get her head around what was now expected of her. It definitely helped having a few nursery friends around to give her some confidence.
One evening there was a bit of emotion. My interpretation of this is that she has realised school is every day, so less time with Mummy, Daddy and Minnie. It does seem a lot for such a small child, but she is embracing it.
And now it is normal to walk to the orange gates twice a day, and she is excited about being there. On the days she has breakfast club and after-school club she is even more excited, something to do with magnetic Lego apparently.
Having seen her interacting with her little friends, I am proud that she is a confident, bright, enthusiastic girl. From what I can gather, the only reason she has been told off so far is that she was whispering to a friend when the teacher was talking. Typical Penny, always keen to chat :)
