A bit late in the day as these came out at the end of term, so just before Christmas, but obviously got lost in the general hubbub of activity.
Another narrow interest item, but you don’t have to read it!
extracts coming;
Isaac “is a very responsible class member. He enjoys undertaking all responsibility that he is asked to do anddoes so to the best of his ability and the minimum supervision”.
Present for good report is a trip to cinema and lunch alone with mum.
Joseph”I have enjoyed teaching Joe this year. He is beginning to take responsibility for himself and his work. Joe is always happy and has a smile on his face.well done Joe.”
Joe’s present for a good report was a trip to the ODI between NZ and Sri Lanka with dad, and even better with mates. For the especially interested, the Black Caps won.
Eleanor “..is an intelligent, friendly and popular student who models exemplary behaviour. She courteous in her interactions with both students and adults alike.”
Eleanor’s present will be taking over dad’s mobile phone when he has anew one soon. Goes to show that the nag factor does work

“You know when you are getting old when you no longer believe the clouds are made of candyfloss and that he trees will not give you a hug when you are sad”

So this morning was the last game of grade 10 for Joe until the resumption of hostilities in February, after possibly some intensive training.
Joe is an all rounder who is “solid”.
Just worked out his figures for proceedings so far.
Bowling; overs 14.3, runs 84 (includes 15 wides or No balls) Wickets 4, with an economy of 5.8
He has also been keeping wicket, no stumpings achieved but style marks reasonable.
Batting; 14 runs for 5 outs so average of 2.8, and strike rate of 17/100 balls. So needs some work on stroke play I would say.
However, his are not the worst figures-go team!
So rest now from Saturday mornings rushing around and being frazled in the sun. Time to work on Joe’s forward defensive and slow left arm spin.
