What a STAR!

Really proud of our wee man. He has grown up so much this year! This week we had a parent/teacher meeting and then today an open day - to view all the work and projects that the kids have been doing over the past year. His group learnt all about 'luft' (air) which included a journey of discovery into outer space. Cool displays!  The first 6 months of Förskolan have been really tough for him and also Mum & Dad feeling sad about putting him in a foreign situation. He's such a chatty little chap so often got frustrated and bored when the other kids didn't understand him.  But now, things have changed, Han kan tala svenska!  He's doing a great job of chit chat with the children and is starting to 'gel'. There is a different mood in the air - the kids now run to meet him instead of running away and occasionally even wave him good bye at the school gate. It lifts my heart to see him come so far and just to connect with the children.  The teacher said that the kids look at him in a ‘new light’ - now that he can communicate and interact with them more equally - not just an exotic English speaking boy!  


What do you think of the hair cut? Home cut this week :0)
