ooh Lag, what great news about your house. I've just had a really good look at it and I really like it. Good layout, great location, lovely views, love the balcony, makes me think of Austria, hope you're going to have windowboxes of geraniums. Looked at the local primary and that looks great too. How are you feeling about the move? Excited or worried?
Stitching, what a rollercoaster, they have messed you about so much. I hope that deputy head goes on to become a head very soon and then she can get you in her school!
Gig sorry didn't get back to you about the reading.Sounds like she's going to take to reading easily anyway . I am inclined to say don't worry too much about it, if E wants to know names of sounds etc then by all means tell her, but try not to cover everything that she'll be learning at school. It's great that she's so enthusiastic now, I would worry that if you do anything more formal at this stage it might put her off or she could get bored in school.My personal belief is that they have soooo long at school I do very little "learning" at home.
Took E for his speech therapy assessment, good news is that understanding is fine which I knew, his vocabulary is very good, but the way he says his sounds is inconsistent and very unusual 
I think he has presented himself as a challenging case for the SALT.Also school are referring him to occupational therapy to see if they can have a look at the foot turning in issue.
Off to the rectory tomorrow, feeling very excited and apprehensive. I think I might love it but it might take too much money to put it right. Introduced ourselves to the vicar this morning at the school harvest festival (that couldn't have been planned better 
) and he said I hope you're up for a project!
Leo, hope tantrum has long stopped
what a long post, sorry, oh yes and I've got 6 full days in another school whilst this teacher and head are off to Tanzania, last school they were in Norway!
