15 October.
Smalley Bean was super excited when I picked him up from school and was desperate to show what was in his bag - his first ever reading book. He boy couldn’t have been more proud. During the walk from the classroom to the car he told me five times how it had come about - having correctly read the sounds on the board he was rewarded with his first book! The book is the letter ‘p’. As soon as we came in the door he asked to read it. He reads ‘p’ and then the pictures he sees: pencil, penguin, pear.. Bug thought he was reading all the words and was amazed, Bean didn’t care. He read his 10 letters as though it was a prize winning novel.
Bug meanwhile also demonstrated himself as a star too. I had a message from one of the other mum’s writing: Hi Had to pass on my son's lovely remarks about your boy today. Apparently he was ‘completely selfless’ in a pass he made to R in rugby allowing him to score a try - what a very kind team player!
R has only just started at the school and until a few weeks back had never played rugby - but is a whiz at football. He hadn’t yet had the chance to score in a match so as Bug approached the try line he decided to pass instead to R instead of claim the try for himself.
As I say, these boys are smile makers.
