Blessed & Proud.

Ups and downs, smiles and frowns
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.
Ups and downs, smiles and frowns
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.
Ups and downs, smiles and frowns
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.

  17. Oh 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

  18. What 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.
    My 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.

  25. It 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

  27. I'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.

    Thanks for linking up with Small Steps Amazing Achievements :0)

  28. Thanks for linking up to #schooldays Sarah.

    It 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.
