South African School Holiday

In America, when we went on holiday break it was usually the day before Christmas Eve until the day after New Years Day. Well, today is December 5th and Gianna had her last day of school, not just for holiday, but for the year. Kenley's last day is Friday. Since South Africans go to school year round here, their breaks are scattered a bit differently. The schools here all break for the month of December and most people go away on holiday, like us Americans would for the summer. It is their summer now. Surely not the white Christmas that I was dreaming of, but swimming and enjoying the sun is okay too I guess.
With the end of the school year comes the girls extra curricular exams and concerts as well. Gianna had her Monkeynastics Awards Day, Christmas carol concert, and Grade 0 graduation. Kenley had her Dance Mouse Dance assessment day. Gianna will start at the American International School in January and will be back on the US school year schedule. Kenley will be moved to the four year old room and continue learning everything in Afrikaans as well as English and Zulu.
