Friday was George's last day in school meaning he has now finished his first year. I'm not entirely sure I will every get used to the how fast he is growing up, but I am trying to enjoy every minute of it. Over the course of the year, after each holiday, he has gradually got more tired throughout the terms. Now he is desperately in need of some down time, but given he is 5 years old, he has little to no inclination to stop. He is now a bundle of extremely tired energy, bouncing around until he crashes.

Friday was George's last day in school meaning he has now finished his first year. I'm not entirely sure I will every get used to how fast he is growing up, but I am trying to enjoy every minute of it :grinning:. Over the course of the year, he has gradually got more tired with small amounts of recovery during each of the holidays. Now he is desperately in need of some down time, but given he is 5 years old, he has little to no inclination to take a break. He is now a bundle of extremely tired energy, bouncing around until he crashes. I think Rosie has her work cut out over the summer!
He has had a brilliant first year in school and seems to have loved every minute of it. George was in Owl class and his teacher was Miss Preece. He thought she was really nice and got on with her really well. Thankfully, she also thought he was a good kid (_meaning he kept his naughtiness for whilst he was at home, I suppose that's the right way round though :wink:_). He has made incredible progress during the year, although only on his terms. When he has decided to put his mind to something, he has learnt it really quickly. Try to teach him something he's not interested in at the moment and it just doesn't go in! He has learnt:

Also, on World Book Day, George decided he wanted to be Batman. After initially disagreeing with him because Batman wasn't a character from a book, he produced one of his Batman reading books and we couldn't refute his logic!
He told me that his main friends this year were Finley E, Thomas W, Isla T, Lowri, Libby G, Jack P, Sydney and Ollie W (_at start of the year mainly_).

Outside of school, George has also started going to lessons at the Velodrome to try to help him learn to ride his bike. A lot of his friends can already ride their bikes and he wanted to learn, but struggled to get the confidence. Now that we are going to the classes, he is picking it up really quickly :grinning:. He has also taken up Tae Kwon Do after one of his friends started going with her Dad. So George and I have started going to the same class and he is really enjoying it. I'm not sure whether that is just because his friend enjoys it, but, for now, I don't mind because it's great fun :grinning:.
It really has been a bit crazy how quickly he has progressed with everything since starting school, but I guess that's what kids are like. They're sponges, and they seem to absorb everything. I've really enjoyed watching him learn and I'm looking forward to seeing him grow again in the coming year as a Shark :grinning:.
