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

We are now into the last week of the first term of Year 1 and Aaron has grown so much! He has got taller (and skinnier!) and he has come on extremely well with his reading and has started to get interested in drawing and other crafts much more.  He still prefers to play with his cars though and this is what you can find him doing most of the time!  He is doing very well with his spellings and has currently got 10 out of 10 each week, although they are much more awkward this last week, so hopefully he will still get them all correct.  He is getting on very well at School still, and likes his teacher, Miss Bowyer, and the friends he has. He does have a tendency to come home filthy every day though! We have no idea how he ends up covered in mud, but he does! He still mostly has jacket potato and beans for his school dinner but has occasionally branched out to a burger, or fish fingers, or chicken nuggets – only because he has these at home! He doesn’t try any other food really, but I would have been the same!  Aaron still cries a lot, mostly over daft things, so hopefully he will grow out of that soonish as the whining is quite annoying! 😉 He does scrap with the other three as well, and Kelly and I are forever telling them to be good and be quiet as Aaron just talks and talks! And he doesn’t have a quiet voice either! I bet he doesn’t talk as much at school though I guess that is why he does at home as he bottles it up all day and then has to be noisy as soon as he gets home! haha.

Outside of school, Aaron is still mostly enjoying football training on a Friday and has now scored a few goals! Well done! He has had several birthday parties to go to as well, which he has enjoyed, as they have all been quite different such as a trampolining party and a sports party. He has also had some of his friends over for tea, and has another one over this week for Hot Dogs!

He does tend to get tired out quickly still, and he usually falls asleep when we go anywhere in the car! I don’t know how, but Aaron could go to sleep anywhere, a bit like his Uncle Darren used to be able to do! 😉

He is now looking forward to Christmas and has written his list for Father Christmas and it has gone from the tree. I can imagine him getting more and more excited as the time goes on and the big day gets closer. He just needs to behave himself a bit more, wash his hands more and try and be a bit quieter! 😉

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! 😉

Today is Aaron’s 1st day in Year 1 at school. I don’t know where the Summer holidays have gone, let alone his year in reception!!!

1st Day In Year 1

1st Day In Year 1

Aaron and Ben Back At School

This last Tuesday, Aaron had a School trip to Dartmoor Zoo, and he loved it!

There was a slight issue beforehand though, as a newly arrived Lynx at the Zoo escaped which caused the Zoo to shut down for a day or two to enable the staff to try and recapture it (it hasn’t been recaptured yet!), so they weren’t sure if they were still going to be able to go or not. It turned out that they could though, as the Lynx wasn’t any danger to humans as it is only small, so they went as planned.  The weather was, unfortunately, a bit damp and dreary, but he said that he enjoyed the day very much! 😉 We couldn’t really get any more info out of him than that! haha
