it's complicated!

7 May: The King's Speech

We all watched The King's Speech at Grandma's.

6 May: Coats, Arts Award Grant, Debbie Hepplewhite

Hannah took me to her house today to photograph her coats and Tom's and Jack's!

Mam downloaded synthetic phonics worksheets from Debbie Hepplewhite for our home schooling.

We applied for an Arts Award grant for session workers to help us with our animation 'Language Givers' in the summer holidays.

3 - 5 May: Adult Services take all Mam's time!

One reason I am so behind with updating my blog, doing my campaigns and animations, and learning to read and write at home is the number of calls, emails, meetings, visits and questionnaires Mam has to deal with from so many people in social care, health and education. Not good. Mam will write on her blog when she has caught up on mine a bit more.

Easter Week

Aunties, uncles and cousins and all came to stay at Grandma's and ours. Friends came to visit. Leighton came for a sleepover one night. Andrew stayed for a few days.

Andrew's laptop was wiped clean when he got it fixed so my brother reinstalled some programs and put all our photos, videos, project work, synthetic phonics and Language Mates PowerPoints, and Tico Language Mate back on it. We edited our 'Equality without Words?' campaign poster a bit but it is not finished yet. Andrew loves the synthetic phonics apps on my iPad!

19 April: Alnwick Gardens

Had a great day at Alnwick Gardens with friends from Durham Area Disability Leisure Group! I enjoyed the fountains and the tree house but the best part was me wearing McCauley's blue gillet all day!
