New school hours

As of this year the school hours for Ecole Enfantine are 8.30am - 11.30am and 1.45pm - 3.15pm. Apparently more in line with the primary school

A slight increase in time, which is a good thing. Means I have to be out the door by 8.20am or 8.25am, then drop Charlotte at garderie slightly earlier.

Lily goes 4 mornings and 4 afternoons a week. Every day except Wednesday. Same schedule as the end of last year. She is in the second year of ecole enfantine and is one of the big kids. She is very happy about this and quite proud. The new kids are only there in the mornings for the time being. And Lily is a big kid to one of the little kids. I wasn't aware of this buddy thing till the end of the last school year when she told us Tanguy was her big kid.

I asked her today if any of the new children were crying and she said yes, one was crying a bit today. She doesn't know his name but it's her little kid. She said the teacher looked after him. I don't think she quite knows what she's supposed to do as a big kid but we talked about what Tanguy did for her (not too much, helped her out a bit) so maybe it's more of a token role!
