10 things Maria enjoyed most last school year:
- Chatting with her Best Friend in class (until they were separated)
- Having an unannounced test (no time to be nervous)
- Collecting all kind of random waste at the school playground
- Giving these to the craft teacher, who makes beautiful art out of them
- Hoist the Dutch flag on “The Netherlands Country Day” at school
- Trading your fruit for cookies with your classmates during lunch break
- When the teacher treats candy to those who did well on their tests
- Field trips (to the ocean, and the farm)
- Even more fun: celebrating your birthday on a field trip and a treat with the cows
- Birthday parties!!
- All her best friends staying in the same class for next school year!
10 things Simon enjoyed most last school year:
- Playing hide and seek with the teacher
- Playing on the school play ground
- Playing quietly instead of afternoon naps
- Climbing chairs instead of listening to the teacher
- Coloring country flags, especially the Japanese: a big red ball!
- Singing songs, either in Dutch, French or English
- Playing Spiderman after school
- Dressing in white and blue every day since blue is Simon’s color (though red would have even been better)
- Dutch language classes, and even gaining a diploma!
- Sport with mister Giraffe! (ehmm, I mean mister Gerard, but he surely is tall)
- Holiday!!
