Aaron's Blog

Aaron has now got his 200m swimming certificate though he didn’t want to take it into School to be presented with it during assembly. He is doing very well swimming and is getting more and more confident! Hopefully he can crack on and complete stage 5 quickly and get on into stage 6! 😉

The weekend after Aaron’s birthday, he had a Laser Tag party. He had done it a few times with other parties so wanted to have it for his own! They only provided the laser tag part of the party, so no food, so we had to sort that out and bring it along with us. Within the 2 hour party period, Aaron had 3 games of laser tag. As we had an extra player due to one of his friends not being able to go, Ben had 2 games and I had 1. We both won our games easily! haha Aaron had an awesome time there and loved the laser tag and spending time with his 12 friends who came when having the party food!  They all had a good time although one of the boys managed to hurt his arm in one of the games and needed ice afterwards. Still can’t believe he is 8 years old though!

After Coby’s birthday party at Jump, Aaron had Beavers and it was a visit to Crownhill Fire Station. We had to miss the start of the session due to Coby’s party, but were allowed to stop in afterwards. 

It was very good and the Beavers were allowed to have a close up look of the Fire Engine and were shown what to do if you got caught alight, and various other things. Towards the end, they were all about to have a go on the fire hose but, typically, just before it was Aaron’s turn, the fire bell rang to say there was a real fire, so they had to pack up quickly and speed off! So Aaron missed out on that but they had to go and potentially put a real fire out, so you can’t blame them. 

It was a good session though and Aaron, and the other Beavers, enjoyed it there! Coby was allowed to go in with Kelly as well, so he had a bit of fun as well! 😉

At the School Spring Music Festival this year, Aaron had to play the Recorder. He did very well and tried to play as best as he could. The songs were very simple, which was good, but quite boring! haha

Aaron’s parents evening went very well a few weeks ago and we were told that he is doing well at school and his teachers are very happy with him! The only thing we need to do is try and encourage him to read a bit more, which we will have to do! Well done, Aaron!
