Rowling before going to sleep.

Clarinet lesson

General 

Elliott was good after school today. However he was upset as he'd been given a discredit at school for being distracted during his Monday fortnightly reading lesson. Also as his new I.Q. book by Roland Smith is not part of the reading quiz site they asked him to read a different book and suggested "Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban" by J.K. Rowling. We did have a chat about trying not to be distracted and trying harder to concentrate now he's at secondary school. He was responsive to the chat and I think it helped calm him down.

Activities

After I picked Elliott up we went to his Clarinet lesson which went well. There was no Whistling Woodwind today so we headed home and he had chicken breast and fig rolls for tea. After tea he watched some more of Stranger Things and then had his bath, brushed his teeth and got ready for bed. He read some of his new school book "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" by J.K. Rowling before going to sleep.
