The one with E's parents evening.
17:52Ellie started in year 4 this past September and not even two weeks later, she turned nine years old which makes her the eldest child in her school year. This new school term also marked the year that Ellie would be my only child at primary school. My eldest is in year 8 and my other son started in year 7 in September. I was a little worried about it to be honest because Ellie has always had her big brothers to look out for her and I think that reassured her. I needn't have worried though because Ellie settled into year 4 just fine. She went up a class and has the same teacher that Charlie had last year (and the year before! And even Harry had the year before, too!) which was also reassuring for her and also for me, too!
Tonight I had parents evening! I always look forward to parents evenings because I like to hear about how my children are doing at school, looking through there school books and seeing there progress!
I am pleased to say that Ellie is doing really well! Her maths, reading, hand writing and literacy work are all lovely and neat, she's at the levels that's expected of her, she is doing very well! She's polite and well behaved but doesn't seem very confident in joining in - Things like putting her hand up and speaking out loud so I'm going to encourage her as much as I can. The teacher also commented on the work we do at home - It shows! I am so pleased that all of Ellie's hard work - Working on her times tables, story writing and reading at home is shining through. Her teacher also told me well done too. We are going to work on her times tables and division and connecting the two. I'm not the greatest with numbers but I am sure we can figure this out together. We're also going to continue reading more, too!
I can't tell you how proud I am of Ellie. She has done amazing settling into year 4. And without her big brothers there.
... The boys parents evenings should be coming up soon. I'm looking forward to those and seeing how well they've settled into year 7 and 8!

I have my parents evening for my year 1 and year 2 next week. Your little girls sounds like she is doing brilliantly and I love her jumper by the way
ReplyDeleteSo glad it was a good parent's evening, we had my boys last week and were very pleased too.
ReplyDeleteah bless well done both of you !!
ReplyDeleteit is lovely and reassuring when your told your doing a good job at home and she is doing well at school :)
Aww this is such a lovely post - it sounds like E's doing amazing at school.
ReplyDeleteEllie looks so pretty and doing great at school. Good job! I think maybe she is just shy to raise her hand up and speak in front of everyone. I am sure that she will overcome this.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, we had parents evening this week too. Different scenario though, we o still have a child to start school! Glad to hear your little one is doing okay without her bigger siblings around. Good luck for their parents evening.
ReplyDeleteI was exactly like Ellie at school and hated putting my hand up and contributing at school. Great news that she's doing well though x
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post! Well done Ellie!
ReplyDeleteAw this must be lovely for you to hear! Well done Ellie :)
ReplyDeleteAw - what a lovely thing to share. I remember my parents evenings when I was young. I never knew what my mum and Dad must have thought as they always said the same thing 'Leah contributes well in class' meaning I was chatty lol x
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see she is doing well at school. I used to hate parents evening x

ReplyDeleteWell done. You must be proud :) #PoCoLo
ReplyDeleteMine is coming up the week after next. Its always so interesting to hear about how they are doing when you aren't around #pocolo
ReplyDeleteWell done Ellie! It's so reassuring how your child is doing at school when you don't get a alot of feedback from your child on a daily basis! #sharewithem
ReplyDeleteAh that's great news, and sounds like having her brothers around had really helped her pave her way in the school for when the time came she was the only one left there. Bet that seems strange, but glad it's going well. Thanks for sharing with #PoCoLo
