A Surprise Baby Shower

In early 2012, the Year Sixes of Keysborough Primary School were told that 6A’s teacher, Mrs K, was pregnant. In Term 2, they were told that the baby was a girl and she was due in August.  The other Year 6 teachers decided to organise a surprise baby shower for Mrs K, so they did. While Mrs K went to the hospital for check-ups of her baby’s health and her own health, they planned the baby shower. It was decided that the baby shower will be on the last Thursday of Term 2, as Mrs K will be on maternity leave during Term 3 &4.

The Year 6 Choir practised the song ‘Isn’t She Lovely’ for the baby shower and everyone made cards for Mrs K and the baby. Names were suggested and decorations were made. The Year Sixes were told to bring something pink to wear on the day of the baby shower (including the boys!)  On the day of the party  the Year Sixes spent half their lunchtime decorating the Year 6 building, laying out food, putting up banners and getting ready for the baby shower.

When Mrs K entered the building the Year Sixes cheered and she was given something pink to wear as well! The Year 6 Choir sang ‘Isn’t She Lovely’ beautifully and people ate the food. A class of Year Ones came to enjoy the party too. Music played in the background and presents were opened. It was a fun, exciting and brilliant day!

The last day of Term 2 was the day Mrs K was leaving. Everyone gave her a cheer. We said we’ll miss her and we were true to our word. Lots of people hugged her and congratulated her, wishing her and her baby girl all the best for times to come. Early in the morning on August, the 6^th 2012 Mrs K’s baby girl was born! The baby didn’t have a name decided yet, Mrs K and her husband were deciding between 2 names.  The students and teachers hope that soon, Mrs K will be able to come and visit Keysborough Primary School with her cute baby girl!
