{Saigon school moments} Georgia and Mackenzie's first school award!


A proud Mummy moment for me at school this morning. Not only did the girls impress me with their class dance performances at the junior school assembly, they both received a Merit Certificate from the deputy Head of Primary.

At AIS all of the junior students have goals set by their teachers. A certain number of stickers means an in-class award for achieving their goal. Once they have three in-class certificates they are presented with a Merit Certificate at the school assembly.

The girls have received awards for being happy when Mummy and Daddy drop them off every morning (a no brainer for them, they literally push us out of the room!) and for being tidy and helping around the class.

Must be honest, I didn't realise how big a deal it was until I found out that only three students from the junior school had achieved the Merit Certificate criteria in time for this morning's assembly (and two of those were from Team Somerville!).

You can bet they were showered with heaps of praise and cuddles from their very proud parents!

For the grandparents - here are the girls receiving their awards. Watch just how impressed they are with themselves!
