It feels like we’ve only just had the Easter holidays, but we’re already broken up for half term. Only another 6 ish weeks and it’ll be the summer holidays, and we’ll be off camping again. Â Only another few weeks for N to be in year 1!
Supply teachers
This week N’s class 2 teacher was on a course for a couple of days, so they had a supply teacher in. According to N, Mrs W was very strict but nice and they did some bouncing balls work ‘because we’ve been doing bouncing for topic work’. Â I think that’s the first time N has had a supply teacher since being at the school, so that’s not bad going by the teachers given it’s a small school and no leeway on moving staff around to cover.
School show
N always turns his nose up at those who ‘have to do choir’. Even though they must choose to do it. Â But he loves to sing and whenever they have school assemblies or performances, I always get to hear him singing or humming away in the days beforehand.
I was so pleased because this time for the school singing show, he was able to sing in with Class 2, so in with all the year 1s. I think he also sang in with Class 1 too, which he said was going to be good because his few years 1s would get to be in 2 class performances while everyone else just got one.
He reckoned he was singing 3 songs as the class, but I only heard him practising 1 – Don’t stop (thinking about tomorrow). Â I couldn’t make the performance because I’d put meetings in that day before I’d heard it was happening. Â So it was a shame I didn’t see it, although N said it went well and he enjoyed it which is the main thing.
School photos
This week was the class photo day. Â N’s school is one of those who does photos of the class grouped in 3s or 4s around the teacher or TAs. Â Not my type of photo – and while you can buy the whole photo, you can also buy only the group your child is in. I never have done because he’s not been in a group with friends, so it seemed a bit strange buying them.
This year I think (he might not have relayed the information correctly) that his year 1s did a photo as a year group, rather than in with the foundation stage children. I’m pleased about that, but we’ll see what proofs turn up.
School shorts
N has finally deemed it warm enough for school shorts. Yay, finally. Â I much prefer to see younger boys in shorts over trousers. Plus as a mum it means less washing because legs get muddy instead of trousers.
Reading level 7
N has come home with a level 7 reading book. Â I’d expected it to be much harder for him, and N to plateau a bit like usual when he goes up a band. But so far so good. Well, when I can get him out of the garden and at the table to do some reading.
