So last night, someone very close told me that the tasks I do are not important. These were the tasks in question. I drove 1.5 hours last week to watch my son represent his university at a sports competition. Then I took my other son to take a tour of a university he’s interested in and submit some documents they needed with regards to his university offer. This also involved an hour of driving and an hour back. Unimportant tasks? I don’t think so. Rather I think it’s very important to cheer and support my child and to give my other child an opportunity to see where he may spend the next 6 years. Don’t let anyone tell you what’s important and what’s not. They don’t see the world like you do.

Things have got very quiet in here. I want to know what last week had been like for you . And if you have any questions? Message me or leave a comment or ask in the Q&A tomorrow. All the links and details of the Q&A are in the calendar. Also, how is the year 5 book list going? The year 4 book list should be with you this week. I’m doing all I can to get it to you 🏃‍♀️ To get you guys going for the week, ask your. Hold to describe what they see in this photo. No rules. If they want to write a story or describe the scene, it’s totally ok. Let them just write half a page or a page. I took it when I visited my sister. This lake is just outside her house 🏠

Can you ask your child to spot the errors in this notice? ! I found this in the doctor’s waiting room 😜 Never miss an opportunity to learn.
