Heliver's Tales

Well... this morning was prizegiving assembly at school as they finish for the school holidays 7 weeks - eek!). I went and sat with my new friend Michelle, who is Ben's mum (Ben is Jade's 'boyfriend' he was in line for a certificate. We we like a couple of naughty schoolkids ourselves giggling at the headteacher who is very strict. She had to drag 'B' (B for bully, and also his name!) out of the front row because he is sooooo naughty.

The first awards were for Outstanding Achievements during the school year. I couldn't believe it when Jade's name was called out and I let out a little 'yaaaayyyy'! Both me and Michelle were filling up as Jade and Ben were stood there proud as punch. There were 5 kids out of Jade's class (of 15) who got certificates so I was well chuffed!

One of the teachers is leaving tomorrow, Mr Ford. He has lead the school football team to the national championships in London. They came first in the northern league, and all 11 team members got 4 medals this morning for something or other. Maybe that could be Joe in 8/9 years time!

I was a bit emotional, and when I got home I felt awful because John was looking after Joe while I took Jadey to school so he missed it all. I keep looking at her certificates and thinking how proud my Nanna and Granddad would be of her, whenever Jade gets something like that, I always used to ring Nanna first to tell her the good news, so this morning, I told her, just quietly in the back yard.
