Aaron's Blog

Two weeks ago, Aaron completed his Stage 2 swimming and now has a lovely certificate and badge to show for it! The following week, he moved straight up into Stage 3 and when Kelly checked last night (after swimming) he is nearly 50% complete in that level as well! Amazing really as Aaron was really quite struggling and didn’t like it at all, but he has suddenly adapted to swimming really well and is doing brilliant!

Stage 2 Swimming Certificate

Aaron has now got his 2nd bronze merit award and is now well on his way to getting his silver again.  Well done, Aaron. Keep it up!

After school on the same day as the music festival, Aaron had his parents evening. Miss Bowyer was extremely pleased with him and couldn’t praise him enough. We found out that Aaron has a Maths age of just over 7, which is really great considering he is only just coming up to 6, and that he is doing very well with his reading. She was so pleased that she didn’t really have much to say about him as it was all so good! 😉 Well done, Aaron! X

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.

Over the past 2 weeks, Aaron has suddenly found the confidence and skill to do really well at swimming. It has come out of nowhere really, but he is now very happy to do stuff in the big pool! He has been jumping in on his own, swimming on his own and, this last Monday, was floating on his back in a star shape on his own and then turning and swimming back to the side. It is amazing really how he has suddenly started to be so happy in the water. For a reward, he had double his pocket money this month, so hopefully that will spur him on to continue doing so well. Kelly and I are very proud of him! 😉
