Okay, all parents think the kids they have are awesome, and my wife and I are naturally going to be a bit biased, but the kids had feedback from both schools this week and it was good, well, I think that it was better than that. My daughter got an impressive report and her form teacher was happy with her progress.
Meeting the teacher of our son was memorable as well. We looked at his work beforehand which was outstanding (most of the time) and his teacher appreciated it. I guess the most amusing part was when he discussed how my son gets distracted when he is sat next to people he wants to annoy! But it was good to see that his teacher was able to see his potential, and importantly, some of the reasons that he might be prevented from reaching it. In fact, the two pictures are some of his work that had been put up on in the corridor outside his classroom.
Sadly though, both kids have been unwell, my son throwing up in the playground at lunchtime yesterday (and having a 48 hour exclusion from school due to health reasons) and my daughter also was unwell today with abdominal pains, but both appear better now and are sleeping well.
