January 21st 2015 - I'm going back to school

Today saw me go back to school for a 10week family learning course in Literacy.  It is being run by the local council and is all free (including the tea/coffee and biscuits!!!)

It all came about the end of last week.  My middle son brought a letter home about it and then the next day so did the youngest, they both asked if I would go on it with them, so I filled in the form and returned it to school.  Yesterday when I picked up the youngest he declared that he had a letter for me.  I opened it and had a look and it confirmed we had a place on the course starting today!

The only downside to this is that I actually have to be up and dressed and out the door by 08:35am in order to get the boys to school for 08:45am for register, the course strats at 9am.

Today was mainly about filling in paperwork and getting to know each other - most of the parents doing it already do know each other but it was nice.  I knew two of the mums on it already quite well and a 3rd that i've spoken to in passing etc.  They seem a nice group and I may actually make some more friends from it.  We also had to make invites for our children to come and join us over the next few weeks.

The last week of the course is actually a full day trip away from the school for us parents and our kids, again all free (except lunch).  They are looking at going to 1 of the local farms that has a big indoor soft play area as well.


I will kepp you posted on how it goes.
