Whistling Woodwind

General 

Unfotunately after school today Elliott was really upset about a few different things that had happened. He felt he'd been told off unfairly, that he'd been teased about his handwriting and that he'd been teased about having divorced parents. He was in tears for about half an hour, and to start with was gulping breaths. As he calmed down we talked about how people sometimes can be mean when they think someone is different and they don't understand it and how other people sometimes let it happen so their not the ones who get teased. We also talked about mentioning some of the teasing to Miss Pallett next time he speaks to her. We also talked about how some people do get away with things and it can be unfair but eventually those kinds of people normally get told off for something as well. Later in the evening I got a chance to talk to Miss Woods at the end of the Manor information evening so I mentioned it to her and she said she'd pass it on as well.

Activities

After school we went home and had ham sandwiches for tea. After tea we headed to Whistling Woodwind and he really enjoyed it and when he left he was much happier than earlier. When we got home he even practiced his parts quickly before having his bath. After his bath he brushed his teeth, we finished his Study Ladder Maths homework (there was one exercise to go) and then he read more of his current Saga of Darren Shan school book.
