I had a reassuring chat with my youngest childs teacher. The quantity of homework will be stepped up, and I am told that i will be welcome in the classroom to help and contribute with my sons education. I am happy with this, it is good to hear.
My eldest was uneasy at the thought of being at school today, and a helpful teaching assistant came to the rescue. We had been made nervous (all of us) by an unleashed alsatian running around on the green on the way to school today. It hadn't done anything wrong at all, but we can't help but see things in the light of previous experience. I phoned in when i arrived back home, and it seems that he has settled in for the day.
Today I attended a school trip to a library, which was fantastic. This was with my youngest childs class. Once there we listened to the librarian, and i read a maze book with some boys. On the return trip to the school we passed a rottweiler, but it was being well behaved.
So far, things are looking much better for my youngest child at Blaise School. Soon, I am going to want to see a bit more of what is going on in my eldest childs class, as I have yet to have a proper conversation with his teacher.
