Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars

The boys are back at school today after a lovely half term break for a week.  It's always nice to relax out of the regular routine and do things out of the ordinary.  Nicholas had some interesting 'homework' to do this time.  He got Kuri, the class' wild dog, to entertain for the week.  We had to take him with us whereever we went, take photos of him doing different things and then do a write up about his experiences.  Nicholas' teacher is full of creative ideas like this that make the children work in a fun fashion.  The write up will also give you a sneak preview of our half term break!

 

Last term ended off on a high note with both my boys getting 'Star of the Week' certificates.  Each boy basically gets a turn to get one of these so they are quite common.  What I really like about these is what they are for (Nick: For your wonderful attitude towards learning / Danny: Lovely neat sentence writing).  So proud!

Nicholas also got two Semper Magis Certificates last term.  These are really difficult to get and they are quite rare so it was really impressive that he got two of them already.  The first one was For Outstanding Work in Geography (speaks for itself because he does have an extraordinary knowledge about the world for his age) and the second one was For Outstanding Work on 'How to Brush Your Teeth' (sounds a bit arb - would have been better if it said 'For Outstanding Work in ICT - as they had to do a write up in ICT using a wordprocessor about something they learnt on the Life Bus).  An excellent start to year 2!
