Parent's Evening

Parent’s evening saw us visiting Godzooky 1’s teacher for an update on his progress. He is top of Maths, doing well with his reading and English, and even his handwriting has improved. Apparently he is one of the most caring children in the class, according to his teacher. He hates to see other people upset, and tries to ensure everyone is happy. He’s also a bit of a grass, informing on other’s wrongdoings. The only problem his teacher is experiencing with him is the development of a love triangle. Him and one of his friends have both fallen for the same girl. This has developed into petty arguments and some pushing and shoving. We returned to his Grandparents’ house where he was waiting, and asked him if he thought he was in trouble for anything. He looked coy and said “No, don’t think so?” When we confronted him about his behaviour with his friend over the girl, he said “ But I love her”. So Mrs Zilla asked him what he meant by that, and he replied “ When I see her I feel all wiggly inside”. He’s 6! These things aren’t meant to happen for years yet! One thing I noticed, whilst at the school, was a sign like a bus stop in one corner of the playground. I asked what it was for and he told me it was the “Friendship Stop”. If you’ve got no-one to play with you go and stand by the Friendship Stop and someone will come along and invite you to play with them. What a fantastic idea – no need for children to feel lonely, kicking their heels with nothing to do. Stand by the Stop and fun will come to you.
