Sierra's First Day of School




Sierra started at Dothill Primary today.  The school is 2 miles from our home in the town of Wellington.  She is in Year 1 which would be the equivalent of Kindergarten in the States.  Her teacher is Ms. Preston and she has a class size of about 28 students.  We didn't learn who her teacher was until the first day of school.  However, we liked her from the beginning.  The minute we walked into class Ms. Preston assigned two students to be her buddies for the day.  They took off for the kitchen and dress up area of the room.  Sierra fit right in.  As you can see they are required to wear uniforms at their school.  The uniform policy is relatively strict in comparison to the United States.

Here she is asked to do the following:

- Light Blue polo or button up
- Blue jumper (British term for sweater/cardigan)
- Gray pants or skirt
- Gray socks or tights
- Black school shoes

Overall her teacher said she did "brilliantly" on her first day and that she had made "loads" of friends already.
