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!!

Aaron has also joined the Tag Rugby club on a Wednesday after school, which did surprise us as he isn’t very sporty really. Several of his good friends are doing it and we did manage to convince him to try it, just so he did some exercise! He said it was ‘alright’ afterwards, but he said he didn’t get much of the ball. I think they were just teaching them the rules this week so hopefully he will be more involved next week! Well done Aaron for giving it a go though!
