Design a teddy

General 

Elliott was really good after school again today. And he slept in this morning until 7.30am - I actually had to wake him up so we could get to school on time. Interestingly his glow lamp was off and we agreed that if he wakes up in the morning he might try switching off the glow lamp and seeing if he can get back to sleep (I doubt he'll do this, but we talked about it). He said he'd been good at school today. He also has 2 sheet of paper with an outline of a teddy on them which all Year 1 and Year 2 have to colour in a design for by 10th February (I think). We started one tonight and I've put the other in his book bag with his homework for you guys. 

Activities

After school we did a very quick food shop at the orange shop on the way to swimming. We decided to approach this as secret agents which seemed to work quite well and he was really well behaved (and also whispering which worked). Then we did swimming which went well although afterwards he said Kate (his teacher) hadn't been happy with how he jumped in (they practice jumping in toes first) because he'd used his knees first. I didn't spot this but we've agreed to practice swimming again when we can. He still seemed to have enjoyed the lesson lots. After we got home we did more cycling practice (at his request) where he picked up pretty much where he'd left off and we practiced turning. We only did 20 minutes or so but he was getting really confident and I think he might be asking Andy to help him practice this weekend if it's possible. Then we did some reading (he has a yellow and blue book now), had a bagel for tea and he did some excellent writing with a birthday card for Grandpa. Then he did some teddy colouring (a start) before bed time and more Faraway Tree.
