For the last week or so I have been meaning to blog but have just not been able to put the words on here that I wanted.
We didn't get either of our 1st two choices of schools for our youngest. We did get our 3rd choice which is a very good church school but it involves getting to school by car, we had hoped to be able to walk. We have gone on a waiting list at the church school in the town but I don't hold out much hope of getting a place. So mentally I have been going through the thought processes of how to get to school - walking is just not feasible, so I am hoping if the weather isn't too bad we will cycle maybe two days of the week just so we don't use the car too much. Also we will park a little bit away from the school so that we do have a little bit of a walk before and after school.
I can't believe in a few months time my little one will be going to big school. It is all rather frightening and I am not sure how I really feel about it all. I have mixed emotions. It seems like one chapter is coming to an end and another is just about to begin but with lots of uncertainty at the moment. I know deep down that it is just a change in routine and we will work into our new routines and they will become our everyday routine. I am sure over time little one will cope with school just as he has preschool.
Still not sure I am putting this how I want but I have so many thoughts going through my head at the moment. Sorry if you are reading this and hoping to find my usual happy post with some knitting involved - I am still knitting.
Oh no, I'm so sorry :-( Which school is he going to? I was worried that Harry would get allocated further away, but luckily he got into our closest, which is also a good school.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to really look forward to him starting – he seems to be getting more 'ready' by the day (practising letters, asking about birth and death and families!) so I think he'll really enjoy it. Making the most of his freedom before then though!
Josh is going to Saltford Primary. It is about 3 miles from where we live. We had hoped to get him into the local church school but that is very oversubscribed! I think Josh is ready for school, not sure that I am though!
DeleteOuch that is a long way to travel with him :-(

ReplyDeleteOh, I am sorry - that must be such a huge disappointment. You may yet get a place at the school you wanted though - people move about and change their minds. Keeping everything crossed that whatever happens, you can all manage the transition and find it all works out once you start going.
