Tom's Week

So Tom had a good week this week.

On Wednesday he was in his new class for swimming.  I didn't go as it was too late for me and I was too tired.  Matt came home very proud.  Apparently Tom was the fastest for all strokes bar one and looked completely comfortable in the class.  Well done Tom, although we did tell him to slow down as he can't go up another class, he's now swimming past his usual bedtime!

On Thursday he came home with a mini certificate from Ms Middleton for 'Star Writer'!  Now writing is his weakest subject so we were overjoyed.  We think it probably improved because of the scrapbook he wrote whilst on holiday - he formulated and wrote all of it himself, and you can see in it that his writing got better as he went along.  He wrote a lot and he wrote every single day.  If we hadn't had taken him out of school to go to Japan, he wouldn't have done it and his writing would still be rubbish.  And we are irresponsible for doing so, oh how I wish I could have a sensible conversation with Nicky Morgan about it!!!!!  

See - a trip to Japan makes all the difference!

Anyway we are very proud of our little man this week.

And just to confirm everything I've just said - we got a handwritten note from Ms Middleton on Friday saying how well he is doing.
