First competitive football goal

General 

Elliott was very good today. 

Activities

In the morning the cup game against Reeves Rangers was really good. I thought Jackdip and Sally did an excellent job coaching the boys and helping Elliott learn where to go when playing on the right. It was also good to see him playing for longer than normal (about 30 minutes) and also playing at the back as well as on the right so he's learning about different positions. He scored his first goal which was a hard shot from outside the area which was brilliant and he also set up a goal for James with a good clearance. There was also good tackling, passing and some good foot on the ball skills. Overall I thought the whole set up was much better this week and it was good to see all the boys getting lots of time on the pitch and playing as a team. It was also good to see them battling back from being quite far behind to only lose by 2 goals in the end. After football we went to the Peel Centre in Bracknell where we did some shopping for school uniform, looked at toys and had ham and cheese toasties for lunch in Costa Coffee.

After lunch we went home and Elliott watched the iPad for a bit before we played with Transformers. We also went outside and did some cycling practice around the flat's car park and the garden which went well and he enjoyed. He had burgers, chips and beans for tea and then it was bath time. After his bath he started reading the Horrid Henry book that Mrs Parfitt gave him at the end of last year which was quite advanced but he read well. Finally we watched Strictly Come Dancing together until Steve Bakshall had done his dance and then it was bed time.
