Elliott was really good today.
Activities
In the morning we went to football and although he told me in the car he didn't want to play in defence because it was boring I thought he played really well in defence in the first half. He seemed worried in the car that if they asked him to play there he'd have forgotten what to do so I was quite glad he did play there for a while as afterwards we could talk about how things don't get forgotten once they've been learned. He was good in the second half too I thought and I thought all the Panthers played really well. After we got home we had hamburgers for lunch and Elliott had some Magnum ice cream for pudding as he told me he now likes ice cream. He didn't finish all of the ice cream but he did enjoy what he had.
After lunch we had a lazy afternoon and he played some Minecraft on the iPad and played with lots of toys. We also went out to practice roller skating and he was a bit more confident skating again. We had bagels for tea and then after bath time he read some of his school book "Riding the Waves" before watching a Thunderbirds Are Go and then finally I read him another chapter of the current Jack Stalwart book before it was time for bed.

Jam tarts
General
Elliott was really good after school today. He'd had fish and chips for lunch. Unfortunately he had lost his Spiderman cap but seemed confident it would be in lost property on Monday.
Activities
He had made two jam tarts at school which looked very nice and we ate them on the way home (they also tasted very nice). On our way home we popped in to Tescos to pick up a few bits and pieces and Elliott had a ham and cheese toastie for tea. After we got home he played with Lego before doing some reading and then bath time. After his bath he watched some iPad and I read him another chapter of his Jack Stalwart book.

Underwater somersault
General
I think Elliott was quite tired after yesterday as he didn't wake up before 7am and I had to wake him up. After school he was a little upset when I first collected him as he'd lost a gold GoGo in the playground at lunch time while playing. He didn't get as upset as he can get and calmed down quite quickly though. After that he was a bit restless after swimming, but we had a chat about behaving better and I linked it to Mrs Davies talking to me about his gang being a bit silly during athletics and he was really well behaved afterwards. I told him that I wasn't cross or angry but I wanted him to try harder to be well behaved at school even when it was boring and he was waiting around to do things. We also talked about how if his friends in the gang are being silly he doesn't have to join in. He had sweet chicken for lunch.
Activities
He enjoyed his swimming lesson straight after school as there was lots of swimming on his front which he says he prefers, and during free time at the end he did an underwater somersault without any water going up his nose. After swimming we came home and he watched some Thunderbirds before we raced against each other on Sonic racing again. He had toast for tea before then reading his school books to himself. Then we had one more race before it was time for bed.

Sonic racing
General
Elliott was good after school today. However when I picked him up from athletics he told me athletics next week was cancelled. So I went to confirm with the man who runs it and he said it was on, but he was going to have a chat with Mr O'Shea because all the children had been misbehaving and being silly at today's session, instead of enjoying trying long jump. He seemed quite annoyed. I did ask Elliott and he said he'd talked to Harry in the queue for the jump and they'd all played some of their break time games. So we had a chat about when to play and when not to. Hopefully all will be better at next week's session.
Activities
After I picked him up we went to ASDA for tea where Elliott had ham sandwiches and some children's crisps. Then it was off to football training where they played running games which Elliott did really well in, before having a game. He did well in the game but there were quite a lot of them per side so it was a bit crowded. After football it was home for a quick bath and then bed time after a head to head race on Sonic racing - he used the iPad and I used the iPhone.

Woodley Wanderers Under 8s award ceremony
General
Elliott was really good today.
Activities
After I picked him up we went back and I gave him some presents from the holiday (a Montengran ship in a bottle and a Spiderman cap) which he seemed to like. Then I asked him to do his homework and he got on with it without making any fuss which was brilliant (it was finding alternative words for nouns, verbs and adjectives and identifying which words in a passage are nouns, verbs and adjectives). After finishing his homework he had a GoGo battle with Andrea using all of his GoGos so it went on for quite a while. Then it was time for an early lunch of honey sandwiches before the Woodley Wanderers Under 8s award ceremony.
After lunch we headed to the Madejski Stadium for the awards which I thought were really good. I also thought the conference suite at the Stadium was a really good venue. And it was good to see the boys get together to celebrate the season. I thought what Jackdip said about their spirit and focus on enjoying playing and having fun was very fitting and it was refreshing to hear him say he thought that was a good thing at their age:
It was also really nice of Jackdip to say Elliott had come second for both most improved player in Panthers and Manager's player of the season for Panthers and that he was glad the summer season was going so well for him. I thought Javier and Harry were both good choices for each Award. Afterwards Elliott seemed very happy with his club trophy for being part of the team anyway. On the way home we popped in to Smyths toy shop and bought toy spy night vision binoculars with his pocket money. After we got home we played some more GoGos before taking Andrea to Wokingham train station as she headed off to meet up with her family in Italy. Then we had pasta with a tomato and ham sauce for tea before bath time. After his bath we talked about money for this week's home learning, including making a list of items that cost a pound. Finally he read some of his school book "Titanic Survivor" before I read him some of his latest Jack Stalwart book and then it was bed time.
