Dave, Jo, Alice and Phoebe

General 

Elliott was good today. He was a bit resistant to the idea of doing homework but once he sat down and started doing it he did it quickly and well.  

Activities

In the morning he played with his Marvel toys for a while and then he did his homework. At frist he didn't want to do his homework so I told him it's good to get it done early to leave the weekend free and in case it's difficult and takes a while (which makes doing it last minute tricky). He raced through his Study Ladder exercises and got all the questions right (though we still have two more exercises to go as we could only do 3 out of 5 exercises). Then he did his English homwork which was questions about a passage of text. He did well answering the questions and his handwriting and attetion to grammar was good. After he'd finished his homework we watched The Amazing Spiderman 2 and had ham sandwiches for lunch while we watched the film. 

After lunch I went for a run around the fields and he accompanied me on his bike. Then we went to Burghfield to visit Dave, Jo, Alice and Phoebe Read(-Clarke). Jo and Alice were out when we first arrived and Elliott and Phoebe got on really well. They played Roblox together and Elliott showed her his Iron Man toys and Phoebe showed Elliott her piano playing and some of her books. They had pasta with bacon sauce for tea and then Jo and Alice got home and everyone watched Strictly Come Dancing. At bed time he brushed his teeth and then read some more of Skullduggery Pleasant out loud to me.
