Photos for Year 6 Farewell
Every year, Scout's school has a going-away dinner in the school hall for the Year 6 students before they all go off to high school next year. It is hosted by the Year 5 students and their parents. As part of the school tradition, at the end of the dinner is a slide show of photos of each Year 6 student, starting with some of them when they were younger and finishing with their Year 6 school photo.
A note came home asking parents to send in photos on CD for this year's farewell. Scout was in an immediate panic that I was going to send photos of her as a baby, naked for all the world to see. What self-respecting parent would let an opportunity like that go by?
I put three photos on a CD and then put the CD into an envelope and sealed it up to keep it a surprise and to prevent a certain blonde girl from looking at them before her teacher, Mr Mitchell, got them. She was in agony.
I saw Mr Mitchell that morning and told him about her angst. Seems that he told her later that he wasn't sure that he could use the photos without blurring out parts of them. Her agony continued, much to her friends' delight (and her own).
Unfortunately, while I was showing her some other photos, she saw the ones I'd scanned for the Year 6 Farewell, so that bit of fun is over. She's relieved, of course, and was pretty chuffed with the photos I picked.
In this one, Scout's only a couple of weeks old and celebrating her first Christmas.
As you can tell, she's a bit older in this photo. I think that the teddy sitting next to her is still wearing the same outfit, complete with a pair of Scout's socks and undies.
Moving on a couple more years and here she is at Floriade down in Canberra. From the missing teeth, she must have been in Kindy. We had been listening to the soundtrack to Cats in the car on the way down and, what do you know, they were performing Cats in a big black cat-eared tent just over the road from where this was taken. While it's OK to sing along in the car, my biggest challenge was to get her not to sing along with the music during the show.
She's still a cheeky thing.
