Jamie was away (98.18% attendance) when the Annual Reports were given out and so we had to wait three days to find out which class he is in next year (same teacher) and to see how he has been doing over the last year.
Jamie has worked really hard this year and has developed his knowledge, skills and understanding well in all areas of the curriculum. He has a positive attitude towards his learning and always produces a good amount of work in the time. Jamie makes excellent contributions to discussion, particularly during guided reading. He has worked really hard to develop his handwriting. He is polite and helpful and can complete jobs sensibly.
Reading - Exceeding
Writing - Secure
Maths - Secure
Well Done Jamie!

Speaking Part (So Proud)
When Jamie told me that there was going to be a school production I may have suggested that in order to be an actor he needed to volunteer..... He came home a few days later and said that he had a speaking part in the KS2 schools production of Olivia! This means we have been hearing the same joke over and over as Jamie is playing 'Joker Number 8'; who is sent to try to cheer up Queen Victoria....
Joker 7: Why is your nose in the middle of your face?
Joker 8: Because its the scenter!
Jamie told me where to sit before the performance, which meant that I was able to get a good piece of film of him (as he wanted!). It also meant I could see him when they were singing.
The production was very good. However, it was rather long.... One mother - who was filming her daughter even though we were told not to. After no one told her off, I didn't hesitate to film Jamie - obviously left after her daughter had done her part - HOW RUDE!

Trip to York
Just come back from a very enjoyable (but exhausting) couple of days in York. We had promised to take Jamie somewhere before the end of term and decided on York as myself and daddy had been previously and we felt Jamie would like the history. We booked our visit to the Yorvik Viking Centre before, and according to the site it was basically sold out after 10.30am. We realised once we arrived in York this was due to school trips.
On the Sunday we set off early and arrived at the National Railway Museum around lunch time. Daddy was loving it, but Jamie kept saying how bored he was, until I discovered 'The Missing Passenger'....This was a murder mystery exhibition trail on a number of the platforms where we had to find the clues and solve the case. I am happy to say that we managed to discover who murdered Edward Robey!!
The museum is free so we didn't mind paying the £9 to park across the road. As usual there were lots of things to see and do. We were a little upset that the Miniature Railway was not working (again!) but all went on the Mallard Simulator (although mummy was a bit worried about being trapped in!) We saw the Bullet Train, the ambulance Trains and watched the Turntable Talk and Demonstration.
We stayed in the Hampton by Hilton hotel which was perfect in its location and facilities. parking across the road at the NCP car park but special rates as staying at the Hilton and not too far from Pizza Express for tea.
We got up early Monday morning and had (full English) breakfast before making our way to the Jorvik Viking Centre.
Then we went to the Yorkshire Museum where they were holding an exhibition entitled Viking: Rediscover the Legend, which meant more Viking things, this time there was dressing up:
Daddy and Jamie also did some Viking Brass Rubbing and got engrossed in some virual reality glasses (Viking VR), see: www.york.ac.uk/vikingvr . We also managed to visit York Castle Museum; the best bit being the indoor streets, go on a merry go round, see some naked cyclists and get involved in calling for an ambulance for someone who fell down the side of York Castle (very steep) sides. Thankfully no photos of dislocated shoulders and blood...(Jamie kept shouting "I know CPR") xx
We were a bit naughty as Jamie had Monday off school, but I think the amount he learnt over the weekend certainly made up for it, and I don't feel at all guilty for letting him miss one day.

WheelGate 2017
Undecided on whether or not you want children? Spend an afternoon at Wheelgate Park....
It has been rather hot lately so when Nicky suggested a day at Wheelgate in the Water Park I totally agreed! However, it was Fathers Day and the park was running special offer for Fathers....
I honestly think that for people without children today would have been their idea of HELL! I know Jamie's Daddy would have hated every minute of it, so he was glad he stayed at home.
Firstly we made it to the Water Park, but, as we had not made it for the opening time, everyone else had got there before us, and there were no free chairs or tables, so we ended up putting our towels on the concrete. Didn't stop us having fun though. I had brought my tankini so decided I would brave it and put it on (I felt quite thin!?) and had a paddle with Jamie. I ended up getting 'bucketed' - a rather large bucket of water tipped all over me! But it was hot and I soon warmed up.
Jamie met a girl from Liverpool on the inflatables. He now tells me he has a girlfriend in every town!!

School Summer Fair
We had a very busy (and very hot) day Saturday. After Alfies Laser Tag party (Jamie got upset as Miaya was sat with birthday boy) we dashed across to school for the summer fair.
Last year I ended up spending far too much, so this year I emptied out the loose change tin and put £7 in a bag for the purpose. I told Jamie once that was gone there was no more.
Jamie had it all figured out. As soon as we got there he was desperate to spend, spend, spend but I told him we had to have a walk round first to see what there was. I could not get Jamie to go on the Donkeys and it was rather hot for the bouncy inflatables.
Jamie's favourite was the 'Teddy Tombola' where he spent £2 and won 2 new teddies (which we really don't need!). We also had a go on the Guide Dogs tombola (as you could win a puppy teddy) but no prize.
Mummy tried her hand at Water or Wine and unfortunately got water; but it was needed in the heat! We had a couple of goes on the prize tombola and came away with some biscuits. Finally 'Throw 3 darts'.
We were in and out very quickly, didn't really see anyone we knew, and came home with 50p and time to get ready for Emily's 16th celebration.
