Proud father moment...

[clerkKent]

We just found out that DS has won the Lower School Mathematics Prize .

He had never heard of it, we don't know what he did to win it, but still .

• well done him. Do you know what the prize is?

£15 book token, plus a seat for parents at Prize Day!

YAY! Good lad Just don't forget to tell him how proud you are as well as telling us

Good prize. Get that camera going. (and as a bonus, you can mention it on your Round Robin letter with your Christmas cards).

congratulations your DS

We are well versed in the right words, commending him on working hard rather than being clever.

DD - inevitably - was jealous when we talked to DS about it. "You never congratulate me" etc.

Huge congratulations to mini Clarkkent

fab news well done little ck

Congratulations to your DS, clerkKent.

I'll join you in the Proud Parent moment, if you don't mind. DS1's got the Year 7 Shield for Outstanding Achievement.

Fabulous! DS was completely unaware of prizes at WS until yesterday, although I seem to remember seeing Prize Day on the school calendar in previous years.

Congrats to your DS.
Does your school do the UKMT?

Congrats to both. Sounds like they're doing really well.

Congratulations! How fab is it when our DCs do something so special?! Enjoy the moment!

Ooops missed that bit.
Well done to Hallgerda's DS too.

fembear, yes, the school does do the UKMT maths. challenges; clerkKent's DS does rather well in them. Maths isn't my DS1's thing - I just pop up on maths threads to re-live my mis-spent youth .

I saw your son last night at the prize giving. DS explained what the Shield for Outstanding Achievement means - I am impressed! I had no idea that their CCF is held in such high regard.

clerkKent, I wasn't there (DH's turn as I went to the sports day), but I gather from DH and DS1 that it was a good evening. DH was slightly spooked by the high profile of the CCF patrolling and giving helpful directions, but then he was a CCF conscientious objector in his youth

I'll be looking out for scorched patches on the field from any re-enactment of the speaker's misdemeanours...
