Well, the summer’s over…in months and weather. And it’s back to school for N and into Year 2. After a year of playing and not really being interested in reading and writing in reception. After a year of good progression…
This year’s holiday firsts were never going to beat last years when N went on a plane for the first time. But 3 weeks in to this summer and he’s already had some pretty fun firsts. As children grow up…
