Aaron's Blog

Archive for the ‘School’ Category

Last week, it was the School Music Festival and Aaron was involved with his whole class singing a song. The song was ‘Reach For The Stars’ by S Club 7 due to the children working hard and trying to reach for the stars themselves. Aaron sang a little bit and did some of the actions but he looked tired out and was yawning several times through it! haha He also gradually seemed to move back and back to hide behind the person next to him, as he was a little embarrassed about being up there and singing in front of everyone, albeit with his class.

Last week was Aaron’s 2nd school Nativity play.  This year, he didn’t have any words to say so just had to sing the songs. But, as he is a little monkey, he spent the time pretending to sing and just moving his mouth! Only when he spotted Kelly and I gesturing for him to sing, did he try and sing properly! He didn’t have a specific costume to wear either, but had to wear something brown (as he wanted to be a horse rather than a pig or sheep). So Kelly managed to find him some brownish clothes and Aaron made some ears at school to put on his head. We had to go to the afternoon showing this time as Kelly was out on the Wednesday evening one, so it was a little strange seeing a Nativity play with it being light outside still! Saying that, Aaron (and all the other children) were allowed to finish and leave school earlier, however it didn’t help us as we still had to wait for Ben. Shame! Anyway, it was a fun 40 minutes (even though one of the children near Aaron actually fell asleep during the show!) although Aaron didn’t want to do the evening performance the next day and ended up crying about it! Dear me! 😉

Aaron reached 40 merit marks so was able to get his Headteachers Merit Award certificate! He now has to restart the process and aim for his bronze again, so keep it up Aaron!

Yesterday, Aaron did a reading test at school and the results said that he has the reading age of a 6 year old, so he is well ahead of what he should be at, which is great! 😉

Last week Aaron reached 30 merit marks at School so has now got a Gold Merit Award. We went in to assembly this morning to see him receive it, and the deputy head (Miss Conday) gave him his certificate and Aaron obviously said ‘thank you’ and shook her hand nicely as we heard her say ‘lovely manners’ to him. 😉 Well done Aaron, now just need to get another 10 to reach the Headmaster’s Merit Award (40 merit marks).
