Loom band

General 

Elliott was mainly good today. We did have an incident after lunch when he was doing his homework and after he'd done most of it he begun losing interest. This would have been fine, but he started being unresponsive rather than saying nicely "I'd like to finish the work later" and then started being silly and sulky. He ended up going to his room until he was ready to finish his work off. But after a brief period in his room and a little upset he came back out and finished his homework and we talked about how to communicate more constructively. 

Activities

In the morning he relaxed watching Dragons before football. He really seemed to have enjoyed football and said he liked playing on the left wing as well as at the back. It was good to see him getting a good amount of time on the pitch and I thought he played well. In fact I think they all played well today but came up against a team with 2 or 3 very good players. After football we went home and he finished making me a very nice red. green and yellow loom band while watching another episode of Junior Masterchef before we had spaghetti for lunch with a bacon past sauce which he ate really well. 

After lunch he did his maths homework which was varying where numbers were in sums to show intergers. He'd said himself in the morning that this was when he was going to do his homework. He started this very well, although his number writing was a bit big and some of the numbers were sometimes the wrong way round. Then he suddenly lost interest and after that he became sulky and generally unresponsive even though we talked about how to say he wanted a break nicely and then he had to go to his room to calm down. After he'd come back, apologised and finished his homework we visited Andrea's parents house where Graham, Babs, Harry and Jack were also visiting and a lot of fun was had by all. After that we went home for toast and honey for tea followed by a quick bath, reading Chapter 6 of "Horrid Henry meets the Queen", some Strictly Come Dancing and bed time.
