School Parents Evening

Last night was the first chance for a formal conversation with the teachers at school about how the boys are settling in within their new year groups.

We were somewhat dreading Oliver’s review as his attitude of late at home has been particularly poor – however, we were delighted to hear of his progress in the classroom, and with the usual issues of carpet time listening when sat with certain friends, he is doing really, really well. There is a suggestion that maybe he is struggling with his eye sight, so we are going to get him (well, both of them actually) in for a test in the next few days / week.

Elliot on the other hand is handling year 4 really well and Miss Dix has even suggested that he may not require the extra time out with the Talking House company – we did wonder the same so we are therefore going to take a term out and see how he gets on without it.

All in all, we are very pleased with the progress from the first month in – well done boys – keep it up.

School’s out for Summer

The boys finished for their 9 week summer vacation today at midday.

That’s right, NINE weeks…..

First stop – hair cut πŸ™‚

We are now ready for our first holiday of the season – Center Parcs in Sherwood Forest starting Monday πŸ™‚

We are all super ready for the week of relaxation and wine :-). On a serious note, we do have a few cool things setup such as Archery, den building, swimming a plenty, treasure hunting, cycling and laser quest in the forest πŸ™‚

We are SOOOO ready for the week πŸ™‚
