School Reports 2017



This week the two boys brought home their annual school reports and they have both done very well. Brandon is within age expectation for reading, writing, maths, science and computing. He needs to put in a bit more effort on his reading but has an excellent level of effort for his Maths. His NFER reading test has come out as “Achieving age-related expectations on test” and his maths is “Borderline: achieving age-related expectations/high achievement”.

 

It sounds like Brandon has really grown in confidence this year and is starting to come out of his shell. As a strength his report mentions that he is starting to feel comfortable performing in front of an audience and he is beginning to sing in tune and is working on controlling his voice (well he certainly doesn’t get that from me). Brandon also gets strong praise for his PE where he gives 100% and has had an excellent year representing the school in lots of different sports as well as making good personal progress. The report actually states “He has also been amazing at all sporting events” – now this he does take after me!


For 2017/18 Brandon will be staying in white class and his new teachers will be  Mrs Playle and Mrs Shaw.

 

 

Joshua’s report is equally as good and shows significant improvement in key areas which he has been asked to focus on this year. His reading, writing, maths, science and computing are all rated as “within age expectations” and he puts in a good level of effort in all subjects. For his NFER reading test it is rated as a 2 which is “Not achieving age-related expectations on test” – seems odd when earlier in the report it says he is within age expectation. His NFER maths test is rated as 3 which is “achieving age-related expectations on test”.

 

Again the report says that Joshua is beginning to sing in tune (I find this hard to believe if he is a son of mine). As with Brandon he also has a mention regarding the PE curriculum and how motivated and determined he is at sport (I can’t think where he gets the competitiveness from?). It is really nice to see that Joshua has stopped rushing his work and also there is a special comment about his massive achievement to stop sucking his thumb this year. His hand writing still needs neatening up but we know about this and do push him hard on this at home.

 

So overall I couldn’t be prouder of both the boys and overall I am pleased to say there were no surprises in either of their reports. Now the big decision is A) do I reward them for good reports and if so, B) what should I reward them with?


For 2017/18 Joshua will be changing to silver class and his new teacher will be  Mrs Becka. At first he didn't seem too pleased with this choice and a lot of his key friends are in another class. But he has had a few transition periods over the last week and
