After much preparation which included writing up a passport, phoning Pet World and researching which fish to buy, Eli, two of his classmates and teacher Chloë went to buy the fish from Pet World yesterday. The going out made this little man so excited and I think he felt a bit like royalty on his return when the rest of the class came running out to see what they had bought.

Passport all written up and consent form signed!

Choosing fish

Eli and I have been working through a reading programme called Reading Eggs. Initially Eli really enjoyed it but I won’t lie the last 2 maps have been a real struggle with much gnashing of teeth and bumping of heads but we made it and finished the final lesson and quiz earlier this week.

I thought the programme was amazing and it definitely gave both Eli and I handles on some of the language rules, that I must be honest I don’t remember from school. Eli is starting to believe he can read and has been super excited about reading the Enormous Crocodile.

I am so proud of him, 9 months ago he didn’t know a lot of his letters and now he is reading. Well done my boy!
