First term of school almost finished for Oliver

Wow, how time flies - it is amazing that Oliver has now been at school for almost a whole term, autumn break is from Friday this week until 27th of April.

Olivers first day to school

He has had a great time. Loving School, loving learning to read and write.  One thing they do is to go through the top 100 most used words in the first year. They are grouped into colour groups and when the child has learnt one group, the child gets to move on to the next set of words.
The first 12 words are called Golden Words and are:
a, and, be, I, in, is, it, of, that, the, to and was.

Oliver keeps his wordsheet on the fridge and practices every day - and he is looking for the words all over the place. He moved on to the next set of words, 18 Red words, last week and is moving fast on them.

Fredrik has just completed his mid yearly exams and done very well.

Jessica having started university recently is loving it and working hard, and having lots of fun too.
She has done well in her first tests.

Keep updated here as I will endeavor to write more often from now on.

We had visitors from Sweden in February, the Jungstedt Family, more on this in the next update.
