Letters

Meredith came back with a letter last week. It's about Grimwade Club. It's basically a club for after school activities. They have Swimming, Tennis, Gymnastics...etc the usual stuff. After a discussion with Meredith and showing her what she can expect from each activity, I am rather surprised she has decided she would want to take up Chess. Of all the activities....Chess? I asked her several times, but she was sure she wanted Chess. I am still not sure if she will change her mind. But whatever she decides...I trust she knows what she wants.

Today she returned home with a letter and she was VERY excited. She whispered to me,"Mum, I think I'm going to be the next VIP because I have a letter." I knew what that letter was and was quite certain it isn't going to be a letter about being a VIP. I was sad to see her rather disappointed.

Everyone at her year level gets to be a VIP for a week. When you are a Very Important Prep, you get all the privileges. You get to be first in the line, you can bring to school some things that you like to share with your friends...etc. Meredith has already thought about what she would bring when its her turn. I told her her turn will come, its all about turn-taking.
