Report Card 2010

Got my report card today. Obviously the scores are excellent but I need the teacher-types that read this blog to decode the stuff my teacher has said...

"Edan quickly settled into the school environment and he has had a successful year in Primary 1. He is a cheerful, caring child and he has developed good friendships with other children. He usually works conscientiously although he has, on occasion, required some support with staying on task and following the school rules, especially during independent activity times. Edan is a confident speaker in all class situations and he is keen to talk about his ideas with others. He effectively contributes to discussions and he answers questions thoughfully. Edan is an enthusiastic reader, who reads aloud confidently and expressively. He often chooses to read books in the story corner. He demonstrates a good understanding of stories, in both oral and written activities, and he is now reading a wider-range of texts, including non-fiction. Edan has original ideas for writing and he can construct sentences independently. He can spell familiar words and is developing his skills in spelling new words for himself, which gives him great satisfaction. Edan has coped very well with the mathematical concepts covered and he works independently to complete tasks. Edan has shown great interest in all our topics and he has contributed his imaginative ideas to the development of these. He has a good knowledge and understanding of a wide-range of subjects and he has enjoyed sharing this with the class. He can use the Smartboard and computer independently. Edan has been an active member of the school's Eco-group this year, a role which has given him a good sense of responsibility and achievement. Well done, Edan!"

Skyfest 2010

Our annual visit to Daddy's work again today and it doesn't seem like a year has passed. That's probably because it happened in September last year, but who's counting?!

This time, after 24 degrees of blistering sunshine yesterday, it was 12 degrees and rained the whole day. However the most suprising thing was that Daddy's work seems to be in a different place again. It still has the funfair though and that's really the most important thing. We went on the ferris wheel when we got there and then got some food and checked out the musical on stage before going into the large tent to have a look around. Out the other side was the climbing wall. This was the best thing. I went up and down it several times - which is a good effort in the cold and wet and wearing wellies!





By this time we were all a bit wet and cold and after I made Mummy and Daddy get me an ice-cream cone we headed home. I already cannot wait to go back next year!

School Summer Fair

It was my school summer fair today and it was a *lot* of fun! Bouncy castle, barbecue, treasure hunt, tombola, police car and ponies. I played with the siren in the police car a lot - until they threatened to lock me in the back! There weren't many boys could get away with the pink hat but it looks really good on me, right?!

Blogging

Here's a quick snap of me writing the previous blog entry...

[edit by Daddy - Edan really did write some of the previous blog entry - his words, his typing, unedited. So proud!]

Grandparents' Day

Today we had Grandparents' Day at school. I invited my grandparents to come visit me at school. Granny and Grandad came. I wouldn't like it if they didn't come to it. I loved it. I showed them around my classroom, including our time machine and our outside toilet - both made of cardboard! Then we sung them some songs. Everyone appeared to have a great time.

Thanks for coming along Granny and Grandad!

No Room at the Inn

I put The Guys in their place on my headboard yesterday morning when I made my bed. For some reason there wasn't enough room for Tiger so he had to hang on by a paw. He was still there when I went to bed last night so well done to Tiger for hanging on all that time. Oddly, there was room for them all again on the headboard today...
