The Journey to Axe Island
the journey to Axe island was so tiring, yet Thom and Elenna Were buzzing with excitement not knowing what was to await them.
Whenever the friends were together they knew with their skills and courage, anything was possible. As they tiptoed to the thick, dark forest the deadly silence filled their ears. As they shivered around the corner the mysterious catbat beast known as scar was ready to pounce. Tom and tummy's were filled with butterflies
Out of the corner of their eyes, a black figure swooped in and out of the trees. Scar! The brave friends stood still with fear. Worried yet excitedly, they crouched. around the beasts neck hung the golden key. It was shining in the moonlight. Elenna used her wicked archery skills to shoot the arrow at scar to free the key. Their hearts were beating like drums. Suddenly, scars beady eye flickered, had scar seen the friends? They would have to go different ways for their devious plan to work.
Thought I would share it because I thought it was brill seeing as this is his first ever real story on paper instead of imagination and reality mix up :)
He still has major issues with writing but this was produced on clicker 6 that I mentioned before. Thanks to that he is now reading every day at school and has gone from spelling nothing to passing his 50 word target to 86 spelling words :)
All in 3 months!
I will bow out again now too much going on in RL so random postings at mo hence silly oclock replies
Hope you are all ok and hugs to those who are not xx

Goodness Coff, she sounds just like ds2. He has traits, but not enough for a dx, is totally disorganised, currently obsessed with minecraft and loves maths and art! 
He doesn't have a best friend, but is such a sweetie that all the other kids like him and are happy to include him in their games. There's a little group of boys with similar traits in his year that hang around together and he tends to be with them.
Interestingly at his OT appointment they asked him lots of questions about his organisational skills and seemed to be expecting him to be disorganised. They also asked about how easy/hard he found it to learn the time, days of the week, months and seasons and seemed to expect the answer that he still struggles with all of them, which he does. I thought at one point they were going to suggest dyspraxia/dcd, but they didn't mention it - though I suppose they might put it into their report. I came away wondering if poor organisational skills are a known factor in JHS.
Hope you manage to get hold of the good GP tomorrow.
Gosh she does sound similar! Well her best friend is a year younger than her, very quiet, similar disposition and like DD who is cornish doesnt have the slightest touch of accent just very precise volcabulary and a "teacher like" tone lol Also mad on minecraft, likes swimming does not like going out and has to be pushed out the door but usually ends up here or portal or DD there yep on portal or minecraft. They even watch live stream at 6pm! madness!
DD is bright but its not just organising its also common sense there is none lol. She would walk all the way to school not realising that the weight of a bag of books isnt there because she has left it at home! and rather than ring from school she would walk ALL the way back!
She is great though and funny and good sense of humour just a tad of a worrier too x Your DS and DD would probably get on like a house on fire
