The Awards of Youth

Awards for May 2012

Every couple of months the local primary school which my children attend gives prizes out at an assembly in front of the entire school.  Last week it was the turn of the younger classes in which ‘The Thinker’ and ‘The Poet’ are members.  Both won prizes which you can see above.  These prizes are based on the accumulation of ‘stars’.  Stars can be earned for top marks in class, full attendance, prompt homework and so on.  The note book is a good prize achieved, by my estimate, about 40% of a class while the tin star is a very good prize with only 20% of a class getting one.  The paper behind them is a note from a teacher affirming ‘The Poet’ as the top lad in his class.

I am very proud of the two of them.  Solid little lads.  Five Pounds each for making the grade.  Dad 🙂

  1. Well done guys!
    I struggled with reading and writing at school, so it’s great to see them getting on with it at such a young age. No doubt the talent of their father has rubbed off a little 😉

    You’ll have them poking putty around next!

  2. Thanks Rob. Your kind words will mean a lot to the little guys.
    You made good yourself my friend. Effort and hard work counts for a lot.
    Seeing myself in them and their actions is sometimes rather strange but yes I am sure that they will all have interests along the same lines as myself.
