General
Elliott was upset after school today as he hadn't been given any part in the school play which must have been a mistake. He did say Miss Allen said they'd sort this out but after he plucked up the courage to audition and was hoping for a notable part he was really upset and it feels like it may have dented his confidence a bit. We talked a lot about resilience and using the disappointment as an opportunity to build up confidence in his own opinion of himself, but he understandably was worried forgetting him was a reflection on how his audition hadn't been very good.
Activities
After school we headed to Loddon Valley Leisure Centre where Elliott got changed in to his swimming trunks and the Council photographer took pictures of him and 4 other childern in the swimming pool for the next edition of the Council "Borough News" magazine. After he'd been upset when I collected him from school this seemed to cheer him up and he looked like he enjoyed the session. After the photos he had a shower and then sandwiches, a croisant and hot chocolate for tea. Then we picked up his Clarinet and headed to Whistling Woodwind wher ehe also seemed to enjoy himself. On the way home after Whistling Woodwind in the car he was upset for a while again and after we got home he played with his finger boards before brushing his teeth and getting ready for bed. Before it was time for sleep he read more of his Darren Shan school book.
