Sushi's done. Time for miso!

One of the day's projects... building a light sabre for a jedi knight.

LR spent several evenings making her mask for the school disco. At each of the school dances, there's a challenge to make the weirdest and most interesting outfits.

The school had a sack race for each class. As usual, LR was FLYING!

Someone's totally awesome dad takes the lead in the sack race... briefly... before collapsing on his face.

Mum gives very detailed instructions to RJ on the egg and spoon race. Perhaps with too much emphasis on not dropping the 'egg'.

C. employs his advanced Egg and Spoon technique, and hopes the judges aren't looking.

RJ very slowly and carefully navigates the course. He made it almost the whole way through without dropping it, step by careful, cautious step, finishing last to cheers from the whole crowd.

RJ enjoys his prize for the race as C. negotiates for a share.

Everyone sets up for the staff vs. students tug-of-war.
