I would just like to say how very proud we were of Tom yesterday. At 6.30 Ingleton School were holding a parents' evening for pre-schoolers who will start at the school in January. We got invited too as Tom will start doing a session a week in January - in an attempt to start getting him used to a school environment in the village we will be living in.
Obviously we don't have any family or friends here yet, so had a choice: one of us go, or take Tom so both of us could attend. I asked if it would be OK to bring Tom with us, I was told it would be OK (although I could hear a little reluctance in the Head Mistress's voice when talking to her about it). We gave Tom a good talking to before going and also said he could have some chocolate if he was good and quiet during the meeting. He was the only child in attendance (which is what we thought would be the case) but he was as good as his word and was quiet during the whole session, he fidgeted, but he didn't cause anyone any nuisance, must have been difficult as the session took place in the pre-school room so there were lots of toys, books and distractions.
Hopefully he impressed the teachers. He's going back to the school on Friday morning for a 30 minute trial session to give him a chance to see pre-school in action and then we have a home visit early January before he starts the following week.
