A few weeks ago, Aaron got another Headteachers Merit Award. He has reached this milestone a few times now so I have actually lost count!! haha.. It shows that he is working hard and doing very well at school though, so long may it continue! We went to see him get it during assembly and he got a big clap from everyone.

This morning, we had to go to assembly again as Aaron had achieved his next Gold merit award and also his level 3 reading certificate. Well done, Aaron, for working so hard!! 😉

On Wednesday, Aaron got his next silver merit certificate and was also presented with his 50m swimming certificate and badge. Ben had some awards as well in the assembly so the headmaster, Mr Hancock, said it was a proper ‘family affair’ as they ended up taking turns going up to get their awards! haha

Aaron has only been back to school for 3 weeks and he has already accumulated enough merits to get his Headteachers Award (I think for the 3rd of 4th time now)! So he was presented with it by the headmaster in assembly yesterday. He smiled and seemed pleased this time as the last time we went to see him get an award, he was very grumpy. He is doing so well that he is already a few merits in to getting his bronze award, so I expect it will only be a few weeks until we have to go in again! This is completely different to last year though, when he got hardly any merits. Last year, he had a new teacher at the school who seemed to want to do her own thing with rewards, so none of the children got very many merits. They are certainly making up for it this year! Well done, Aaron!

Aaron received his Gold merit certificate a couple of weeks ago but we didn’t go as we didn’t know he was getting it! Apparently he forgot to tell us or didn’t know himself, but after the last assembly we went to when he was grumpy, we are not convinced. We were quite unhappy and upset that we had missed it as we had been waiting for a very long time for him to get his next merit award as his teacher, Mrs Wall, hardly ever gives out merits. She uses her own system called ‘DOJOs’ for some reason. Since then though, he is over half way to his next Headteachers Merit Award, but I think it will come next school year as there are only 2 1/2 weeks left now!
