1st Day In Year 5

So, Aaron is now in Year 5 and has Mr Stein as his teacher, the same as Ben had.  He seems to like him, which is good, and is doing well considering he hadn’t been to school since March!  There was a blip a few weeks into term though, when he, and the rest of year 5, had to isolate for two weeks as a child in their year’s parents had a positive covid test.  Luckily, the school was a bit more prepared this time so he had better organised work to do at home, although he stormed through it all each day and ended up finishing early most days!

He has been enjoying PE each week and has been doing tag Rugby and cross country.  Reports in from other children are that Aaron has been doing exceptionally well and is actually beating a lot of the regular runners at cross country now! It’s no wonder really as he is tall and lanky and should be near the front! haha  They have also said that he and Rafe are excellent in tag rugby as they are the two with the tags and they do a really good job of keeping away from everyone else.  A very good team apparently!  Awesome!

Homework wise, until a couple of weeks ago, he has only had spellings to do – nothing else at all!!  Coby has had about 4 pages of homework each week so Aaron has been very lucky so far!  Since he has been getting homework as well as spellings, it has only been a small amount and so not taken him very long at all. Lucky chap!

Anyway, he is getting on very well, which is the main thing!

Here is a pic of him on the first day of school.  He is dressed in his PE kit as the children have to go to school wearing their PE kit If they have PE that day as they are not allowed to change at school anymore, due to covid.  Unfortunately, it does mean that if they get wet and muddy, they have to stay in it for the rest of the day! He has come home very, very mucky most days!!

This year was the first KS2 Sports Day for Aaron, so it was proper sport this year!

During the morning session, Aaron did cross country and Football. He did very well in cross country around the school and finished in the top 10, which was excellent for him! 😉 He also did very well in football and seemed to enjoy himself in both of the events.

In the afternoon, he did a round robin of events including the relay, tag relay, standing long jump and a throwing event. He did well at them all as well and put a lot of effort in. The final set of events were the running races so Aaron participated in his class race. He ran as fast as he could and ended up in the top 10 again, so was a great effort as his class has some really good runners!

All in all, Aaron had a great first KS2 Sports Day and did very well!
