Summer seems to have long gone now. It's dark early in the evenings, I'm being dressed in long clothes for daycare, and we haven't been to a beach on the weekend for ages. That means we're into Autumn now, and after that comes Winter - and school!
In just two short months I'll turn five, graduate from daycare and go to my first school. Even when I've seen other boys and girls graduating, it seemed like ages away that it would be my turn.
So it's a good thing I've been getting myself ready these last few months, by working on my reading, writing and maths.
As you can see, I've got pretty good with writing my name and drawing - still haven't quite got the hang of drawing hair yet though. You can tell I'm concentrating on my drawing by the tongue sticking out of the side of my mouth.
I've also been practicing my ABC, and can now read about half of the letters of the alphabet. Somewhat strangely, I could spell the letters of my friend Damiyn's name before I could spell my own. But I can ace spelling my name now too.
My numbers and counting are getting better. I can count up to about 30 before things start to get a bit fuzzy and I need to ask for help. There are even a few maths questions I know the answer to now as well...
So, that's words and numbers pretty much sorted; wonder what else I'll need to practice before starting school? I'll find out soon when I go for my first proper school visit.
Hi Oli! Grandma is very impressed that you can add up all those numbers, and that you can write your name. The school teachers will be very surprised and pleased with you I would think. I certainly am. Xx
