Aaron's Blog

Parents evening went very well for Aaron this year. Mr Harden, his teacher, said that Aaron was doing well and he was especially pleased that he did something wrong but went to ask him and then tried again and got it correct. So, well done Aaron! His reading is good and he is doing his spellings well and usually gets them all correct every week. Maths and English are also OK but he could do with trying even harder to get even better.

Last week, Aaron went on a 1 night Camp and Cook trip with his class at School. He had to take a bag with his clothes and sleeping stuff in to school and they got a bus from school to the place near Dartmouth. They were to sleep in a wooden hut for the night and he was in with a few of his other friends. One of his friends tried to sneak some chocolate in for a midnight treat for them all, but was caught by a teacher! ha

Year 4 Camp and Cookha The teacher didn’t take it all though, so they still had a little bit of chocolate! During the night, Aaron was, apparently, snoring very loudly which kept his friends awake and they were able to lift his arm up to look at the time on his watch without him noticing! That is typical Aaron! Any

way, he had a great time and enjoyed the activities that included den building, cooking pizza and bread over a fire and other general outdoors stuff like he does for Cubs. He was absolutely shattered and filthy when he got back though and had to go straight into the shower to clean off! 

Yesterday was Aaron’s first day in year 4 with Mr Harden as his teacher. He was looking forward to going in and looked really grown up this year – more so than previous years! He has certainly grown and got tall over the Summer! He had a nice day and said he had some fun, which was good for the first day, and was the only one to come home without any spellings or homework to do for next week, although he may get some today. He got a good seat on a table with his friends, so he was happy with that, and looked very smart with his new shoes and hair nicely cut! I wonder how long this will last! 😉

Aaron has done very well at school this year and his report reflected how well he has done! It was an excellent report and showed that Aaron is doing well in all subjects but especially good in IT 😉 He has grown a lot in the past year and will be moving up to Mr Harden’s class in Year 4, although this is subject to change due to external factors. Ben had Mr Harden in Year 4 and didn’t enjoy the year too much but hopefully it will be better for Aaron. Well done for an excellent report, Aaron! 

During the last full week of term, Aaron had a trip to Central Park to do some orienteering. Kelly went along to help as well and they were tired out by the time they got back to School. Kelly had to have a check done on her before she could go as she was given several children to look after by herself! She passed that Ok and had to have a meeting with the School admin manager as well beforehand! The weather was warm that day and they ended up walking miles around Central Park looking for specific points on a map. Aaron said that he enjoyed it, especially as they could take money for an ice cream, but wasn’t in Kelly’s group as they usually put parents with other children for some reason. They were there for the entire school day so took a packed lunch as well (so did Kelly) but were hungry by the time they got home! It seemed like a fun day anyway and Aaron was pleased that Kelly went with them.
