Teddy Bear's Picnic

This morning we were lucky to attend the "Teddy bear's picnic" organised by the 6th formers of JIS and Geckos. We got to school just before 10am and waited for the other mums and kids to arrive. As you can see from the photos Oliver didn't take his teddy as he only has his bed time teddy and during the day he plays with his froggy. So we decided to take him along to the picnic.





Oliver had his Borneo backpack on!

There was a big bus parked beside the school library. We were told that we would go on a bus from one side of the school to the other, but I wasn't expecting a big tour bus like this one.



Oliver was very excited as he could see out the window + he was so high up (he still sits in his car seat facing backwards so today the world around him opened up widely!).



When we got to the student hall (the other side of the school) we were greeted by three student singers who came on board and sang twinkle twinkle little star and of course wheels on the bus go round and round while the bus took us for another round of the car park. The driver even tooted the horn and all the kids loved it!

We got off the bus and went to the upstairs picnic area. It was covered with picnic blankets and we were welcomed by lots more students. They had balloons, bubbles and music to entertain us.

Luckily Oliver was popular among the students and they wanted to adopt him while Matthew and I enjoyed a cup of coffee :) He was pretty happy being held by a number of students who passed him to the next student, saying "this is Oliver" and the next one greeted him by touching his hair (all the students loved his hair!!).



At the end of the picnic we were given a balloon each to take home.



We got back on the bus with our balloons and drove back to the front of the school.





It was such a nice little event and made our day (I hope Oliver feels the same). Thank you JIS students and Geckos organisers.
