Blessed & Proud.

Harry started high school last September and if you remember, I was really quite anxious about him starting high school. I really needn't have worried because Harry has taken to high school like a duck takes to water. On Thursday I had parents evening. I saw lots of Harry's teachers and every single one of his teachers said how well he's doing, he's learning, he's confident, he's polite, kind and helpful. Which made me burst with pride. He has made lots of friends and is very sociable. His P.E teacher told me that Harry is going to be in the top set for P.E after half term, which doesn't surprise me because he is very, very sporty indeed. His french teacher did say that Harry is only just average for French and he needs to work a bit harder. He's never learned French before and he's only been doing French since after Christmas (before that he did German - They seem to swap them around after X amount of months), so I do think he will get there with French. He also needs to work on his spelling. We can work on that together, I think some word apps might help! There were a lot of his teachers I didn't get to see because the appointments were all taken but I'm sure I'll see them next time!
Harry was also diagnosed with acne last week, the doctor has prescribed him some medicated cream/liquid stuff for his spots, we're hoping it will help otherwise we'll need to go back and get it changed. He's only twelve years old so there are only certain medicated creams (and what not) he can use at this stage.
I can't actually believe that Charlie is going to be starting high school in September. He was on the waiting list for the same school as Harry but thankfully a space became available. That's a relief. I'm anxious about him starting but I know that he'll settle in just fine and he already has his big brother there! Charlie is very excited and can not wait to start! He'll be able to catch the bus to and from school with Harry every day which is good!
Charlie has his SATs coming up at school soon, he's been busy preparing for those and has been attending homework club after school once a week, he actually enjoys that club. I think he has an end of year/end of primary school trip coming up but I'm waiting to hear more about that. I am going to start buying his uniform for high school within the next month because it's going to be expensive! With two boys at high school, both needing blazers, shirts, trousers, P.E kits, rugby tops.. The list is endless.
Ellie has joined choir club after school once a week. She starts this coming week! She is super excited! Her spelling is coming a long great as is her reading. She's been reading a lot recently ad has started reading Goosebump books. I use to love the Goosebump books when I was a child and teenager. She loves playing outside on her bike and roller skates. She's SO good on her roller skates now. I'm quite impressed, I think I'd go flying if I was to try and skate now, haha. I can't believe how fast she is growing up! She's eight years old. It doesn't feel like eight years ago since she was born. It's a bit... crazy! And bittersweet, too!
I'm so proud of all three of my little's (who are not so little any more!) They're all doing so well and trying so hard with school. They really are my whole world and beyond. ♥

He is turning out to be an amazing young Man, it's odd that I remember him being born, then C and then E wow x
ReplyDeleteAww! It sounds like your kids are all doing so well.
ReplyDeleteI remember worrying so much when my eldest started high school but really had nothing to worry about. She goes into year 9 in September.
Aw I really enjoyed reading this little update about your kiddos! So great that they're all doing so well and that the boys are going to the same school, hurrah! X
ReplyDeleteAww how fantastic - how wonderful that he has taken to high-school well and is flourishing :) x
ReplyDeleteI bet you're so proud that Harry is doing so well at school. To be average at French after a few months is still really good! x
ReplyDeleteSounds like the children are doing so well, no wonder you are proud. My triplets went up to secondary school in September too, it is such a big change for them. #MagicMoments
ReplyDeleteAawww you should be so proud - they sound amazing children. Luckily all my parents evenings have made me want to burst with pride too. We are both very blessed. Kaz x
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a good round of parents evenings. I cant believe my daughter will be in high school in a few years! It's crazy how fast they grow isn't it! Angela from Daysinbed x
ReplyDeleteYou must be so proud of him. I bet he also enjoyed reading your post! Must be such a relief that his brother now has a place at the same school #MagicMoments
ReplyDeleteAwww bless you should certainly be proud as they seem to be doing so well. I wonder why they switch them up with the language classes
ReplyDeleteStarting high school is such a big step in life, I think. Sounds like all your kids are doing great- you have every right to feel proud! :)
ReplyDeleteYour kids sound great! You should be very proud #twinklytuesday
ReplyDeleteAww this is lovely, sounds like all three kids are doing amazing. I can't imagine my little boy going to primary school let alone high school, the time goes so quick though and I'm sure it will be happening in a blink of an eye. Lovely post xx #twinklytuesday
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post. Sounds like you have lots to be proud of.
ReplyDeleteAnd how nice that both brothers will be attending the same high school, such a relief for you I bet.
Thanks for joining in with #MMBC x
Great to hear your little man is doing so well in school, the time goes so quickly doesn't it!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely kids. You must be so proud.
ReplyDeleteOh what a lovely mummy post - your children sound like they are doing really well and you have every right to feel super proud - I would! Also lovely to know that your younger son will be joining the same school - my three are now all finally at the same school - feels so comforting to know that they are all together and looking out for each other. #KCACOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post. It sounds like your biggest boy is doing so well at high school and Charlie is ready for it too! My younger son started secondary school this year too and he's doing really well.
ReplyDeleteMy eldest has acne too and has had some cream on prescription for about a year now. Both my husband and I suffered very badly with acne (and mine has only just cleared after some very strong medication at the age of 42), so it's a worry for me. His acne has got worse, but he doesn't want to go on stronger medication yet and I admire him for that.
Thank you for linking with Loud 'n' Proud.
what a lovely update! you sound so busy what with buying stuff for both boys and choir for your girl :) non stop I can imagine. pleased he has settled well at school - I imagine it is a big worry. we have a number of years yet here - son is only 2! #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteAh, can't wait for report cards. They are pretty basic in reception! :) #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has her SATs coming up too, she is a little anxious about it, and she too starts high school in September, where does the time go?
ReplyDelete#KCACOLS
aw it sounds like they're all doing so well! It must get so expensive when you have to start buying school uniforms etc. Hope the medication works for Harry x #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely update. It sounds like your eldest is thriving in secondary school and the others are all doing wonderfully too. Thanks so much for linking with #KCACOLS. I hope you come back next Sunday.
ReplyDeleteOH what a lovely lovely proud post. It sounds like its going wonderfully for you all in school too. Love when it a blessed moment to have a lovely family unit. Thanks for linking up to Share With Me #sharewithme
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your children are doing wonderfully in school- I know that must make you so proud! We really don't have many schools that require uniforms here in America, so I've never really thought much about the cost, but I can imagine it gets expensive! Thanks so much for sharing x #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteI can see why you are so proud they all look they are doing really well! #kcacols
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that Harry has settled in so well. High School is such a big change, and isn't great that his brother will be joining him. I hope choir club went well for Ellie. I never read those books when I was younger, I remember a programme but I think I just missed the books coming out and then felt too old for them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with Small Steps Amazing Achievements :0)

Thanks for linking up to #schooldays Sarah.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like they're all doing well, and have constructive guidance for Harry on what he needs to work on. Lucky both boys will be at the same school come September too, bet that's a relief. Choir is such fun, so hope Ellie enjoys it.
