Positional awareness

General 

Elliott was good for most of today. He even waited until 6.30am to wake me. Unfortunately he was a little hyper after our visit to Andrea's parents house and didn't calm down very quickly when asked so he had to go to his room to calm down. He did then apologise very well and explained what it was he was apologising for.  

Activities

We went to football training in the morning and he did really well. They were all much more focused today and they played 2 games, 1 in zones to start understanding positions a bit better, and 1 free form as usual but the positional awareness is getting better and better. He also scored a good goal in the final game after tackling someone and taking a touch.         

After a packed lunch we did some homework (numbers - how many tens and units in numbers over ten - eg in 27 there are two 10s and seven units) and some thank you cards. Then we headed off to Andrea's parents house to see them and her brother, his partner Harry and Jack. This was good fun, although very hectic and it wasn't a huge surprise he was a bit hyper when we left. We had Spaghetti Bolognese for tea and bath and bed time went very smoothly.
