Tuesday, Week 6, Y9 & Y7Lite

Monday went so well, Tuesday should follow suit nicely. Well, Tuesdays do not always play nice. Lee and I aren’t feeling so well and Fox had a case of insomnia. School was done and with acceptable attitudes but I think it was overshadowed.

We started school early in the day but went on errands after lunch. School was started by 8:30am, break around 9:45am and lunch at 12pm. We got home a little before 2pm; school was done by 3pm.
