6pm Mummy Daddy & Josh all headed down to school to meet and chat with Josh's teacher to discuss how Josh is doing with his learning and how best we can all help him in making further progress. Mrs Whitehead started the meeting off by telling Josh he looked very spunky in his good trousers and shirt - good start! Josh told her that he was wearing his 'party' shirt !
Josh was so proud to sit down and take charge and show Mummy & Daddy all his books and his work. Mummy felt quite a pang of pride when she saw his handwriting book which was very neat and tidy with good spacing and well-sized letters. Mrs Whitehead said she was very happy with the progress Josh is making, especially with his reading and writing. At the beginning of this term Josh was reading at level 8, and he is now on level 13.
Mrs Whitehead observed that Josh is a 'young' 6 year old but that he is maturing nicely and is coping better with the rough & tumble play that some of the boys are inclined to do. He is working on some little friendships and is a caring and popular member of the class. He still struggles a little with others coming into his personal space but is trying very hard to deal with this.
Our goal is to work on Joshua's spelling and Mrs Whitehead gave us some really positive ideas on how we can turn the learning into fun activities and the spelling becomes more of a by-product of the fun.
Here is a wee peek at some of the artistic work that Josh has been working on in the past term ....
