School Reports

Went to Millfield this PM to catch up with the kid's teachers and find out how they are doing. 

First off we saw Miss Hewitt who explained that Nat was doing very well and was a joy to teach but that he still had problems with the presentation of his work. If not for this problem she had no doubts what so ever that he would have archived 5's in all his SAT'S unfortunately, because of this, she expects him to only get a 5 in science and high 4's in the other exams. 

He and the other Geeks are happy to be perceived in this way and appear to thrive on their reputation for geekiness.  Apparently his sense of humour is blossoming, but there's no sign of this at home where he still remains a complete arsehole.

Secondly, we saw Miss Dunn, Hannah's teacher, and Miss Gordon the P.G.C.E. trainee who is doing her on site training there. We chatted with Miss G whilst waiting for Miss Dunn to arrive.  Miss G was very fulsome in her praise of Hannah, who she said was, very bright and able and who was also very supportive of the other pupils in her class.

Miss Dunn advised that Hannah was coping well and had little difficult with understanding but that she to suffered from the same problem as Nat, which was, that she was in too much of a hurry to get her thoughts down on paper and that as a result her presentation suffered and caused her to make simple unnecessary errors. She said she would be focusing on this with Hannah in the coming term.
