/ Bearing Down: So long crocodiles

So long crocodiles

"No more classes, no more books, no more teacher's dirty looks".

Reception class RM, aka the crocodiles, sees the end to another school year! The few weeks leading into the last day of school... the perpetual question goes...'so what're your plans for the summer?' it's either staying around Muscat - which leads to a subsequent discussion of possible playtime schedules OR flying out to native country or vacationing somewhere a bit (or a lot) cooler.

Vivian will still see the same crocs next year... they stay green...but they change breeds - as come Year 1, they become frogs. So, it wasn't really goodbye-GoodBye - except for maybe 1 or 2 who were moving to some other country. Teachers' are changing of course; as will the classrooms - and maybe even the baggage accessories. Year One(rs) are also now allowed to try out/participate in after-school-activities ie sports, choir, etc.

So as Vivian says goodbye to her teacher and welcomes the summer vacation, the daddy is also smiling -we can all wake up a little later than usual now.
