New school year

So, the grading system is a little different down here than in the States and honestly, it still confuses me a bit, so I just roll with it. The school year starts in February and ends in December. Quincy is in Year 5 and Townsend is in Year 6. Even though they are number wise a year ahead than their friends in the States, they are learning roughly the same curriculum.  It goes by age group- so 9 year olds are all together in year 5 and 11 year olds are in Year 7. Townsend started a new school this year- first year with a uniform! It's a few months in now (I am very behind in blogging!) and the boys are happy and doing great in school.
