Quinn - Grade 1 in the bag

On the last day of school Quinn came home with his final Grade 1 report.

This is Quinn from the day he first tried on his school clothes in October last year, some what reluctantly, through proudly wearing his 'smart' winter uniform in July, all the way to being a clown dressing in November this year. See how much he grew... his shorts went from under his knees to well above them!

With Quinn being the very youngest in the school this year (even some of the new grade ones starting in January will be older than he is!), we knew it wouldn't be an easy year for him. He has battled a bit with listening and writing, but has done brilliantly at maths, reading, comprehension and speaking. Also he has made good progress from one term to the next, which shows that he has been able to keep up well. Most importantly he has enjoyed being at school, especially the large social circle which it brought, and participated well in all areas. He also managed to more than hold his own in the playground, even with much older boys at after-care where he competed strongly with 'tazos' and 'Yu-Gi-Oh' cards, being quite devious sometimes.

Quinn's final Grade 1 report is summarised below:

		TERM
Mark	Description	2	3	4
1	Not able to fullfill Learning Outcome	0	0	0
2	Able to fullfill Learning Outcome with basic support	3	1	2
3	Able to fullfill Learning Outcome	16	13	10

I am very proud of him!
