My Word of the Week!!

My word of the week is...


It has to be this week......We had Becky & Ellie's parents evening earlier on in the week and all was good....In fact it was more than good it was great!!

First up was Ellie.....This time last year her writing & reading was not so good and her maths was ok...She was getting by.....This time she is one of the top readers in her class and her writing has greatly improved....She is doing well at maths and loved her topic work!! The only thing she needs to improve is her concentration....She gets easily distracted!!

Her teacher asked us if we had a nice time at Florida over the half term.....Pardon? Ellie had told her and the class she had been to Disneyland....Even went as far as to tell them all about all the fab rides and the hotel.....lol She's a bit of a story teller.....There was no trip to Florida! I wish! Such an imagination!!

Next up was Becky!! She's in the top set for reading....She can read just about anything put in front of her and knows what the words mean too.....Her writing has improved too she's using more WOW words (exciting, interesting words) but needs to use more.....

Her class has been practicing SATS papers and her teacher has said if she carries on the way she has been she will do very well.....He showed us on of the practice papers she had done and she got nearly all the points she could get.....

She is so confident.....What a difference from a few years ago when she wouldn't even put her hand up....Now she gets told off for shouting the answers out....lol

Becky's teacher has decided on having a change around with where the kids are sitting in the classroom....Her table is the worst for distracting each other and chattering away.....They're getting split up....Aww!! 

So yes! I'm an especially proud mam this week.....I am usually proud of my girls but this week I'm extra proud....I think a treat will be in order at the weekend!!

  9. Brilliant! I think I will start telling people at work that I've been driving Route 66 or something next time I go away (even if I've only gone as far as the Isle of Wight)! #WotW
