Parents evening

General 

Elliott was good again after school today and well behaved for Andrea during parents evening. On the way to swimming after school he did ask me if we used to be married, so I explained we did but weren't anymore. He then asked why, so I explained that when we lived together we weren't making each other happy. He looked a little down about this and said he wished we lived together and that we liked each other. So I said that we did like each other and because we both loved him and when we saw each other it was to do things with him and that made things much easier now we don't live together. This seemed to help and he cheered up and we moved on to what Transformer I'd like to be most.

Activities

After school we went straight to swimming and he did well as usual. Then we went home for tea and I shot off to parents evening which I thought was really positive. I know handwriting is a bit behind track, but I think that will sort itself out and I'm really pleased to hear his ideas and creativity are really good and I enjoyed seeing so many house points in his Maths book. I also think it's really encouraging that when he does get upset it's not lasting for long before he moves on. While I was gone he finished off his homework with Andrea, read the whole of his school book "The Trap" and practiced his spellings. After I got back I told him how well parents evening had gone and how Mrs Davies had said his ideas were really good and his Maths and general work was good. I did mention that his handwriting was getting lots better and he needed to keep trying to improve it even more and that it was really good he was calming down so quickly after being upset and be good to practice not even getting upset and he seemed fine with this and generally quite pleased. I also told him that you were really pleased.
