One of the students apparently had major surgery last year. My head tells me that when he first came to school a year ago all his pictures were bleak in their colour now they are deep intense blue, but he has yet to progress in English so today I planned to show him some Jolly Phonics material on You Tube to see if over time this makes a difference. . When I went to get him his mum was in class. The students in his class were doing a reprise of their Autumn Festival song for visitors from China and Russia. She luckily speaks a little English and came with him to look at the material. With her encouragement he watched the videos and was able to say some of the words beautifully in English. This is the first time that I have heard his voice. We hope that she can come again and we can see whether this helps him progress.
And as I have said that we had visitors so the year zero kids reprised their song. They melt you heart sometimes.
