We gave him an MP3 player and a basketball for his birthday. It can be a bit frustrating in the morning trying to get him ready for school when he's got the earphones in.
It didn't take long to settle into a routine again - making lunches, getting to school, doing readers and homework. Waking up to an alarm is still a bit of a shock to the system though! The kids are loving it at Numurkah Primary School. They have all made new friends and are doing really well with their schoolwork.
