Well, the five year old came home singing, ‘Rudolph the next door neighbour’ – he can’t read and when they learn songs in singing assembly in the hall with the overhead projector scrolling the words, he just has to make a best guess!
His class teacher met with the educational psychologist today to put a plan together to try to help him without actually giving him any more resources. Not sure what they came up with.... but I wait with baited breath to find out.
I tried to correct him but actually I like his version now, it’s going to be our traditional family carol from now on. Beware the Rankine-Elson’s knocking on your door and bursting into song!
He is playing a reindeer , along with the rest of his class in the nativity in a couple of weeks time, I know this because he has to take in brown trousers and a brown top in a plastic bag clearly labelled with his name before next week.
He doesn’t have brown trousers though and annoyingly because even though I now have a blinging phone I don’t actually do anything but text and call on it and I was outbid by 20p on ebay for a pair rather smart monsoon age 5 / 6 brown trousers which would have doubled both as reindeer and smart pants for Christmas Eve party too! All this just after getting over the spotty day for Children in Need scrabble for spots in my size, the five year old and the two year old, fortunately my partner didn’t need a costume that day!
He proudly brought home his Christmas cards printed by the P.T.A. a fund raising enterprise but just the cutest thing ever especially the tiny tags, all with his hand print Christmas tree and felt tipped fairy, gallons of glitter tipped over the lot (he is his mother’s son when it comes to glitter!)
The two year old desperate to do whatever the big one does has a pair of duck scissors that quack when he cuts, it’s cute but a little surreal....
Both of them heads down glue sticks blazing. Sequins scattered around the kitchen and foil flopping.... the sound of quacking!
Both smiling coyly holding aloft their art works, precious!
