A small step at school

This morning I quickly tidied the house, emptied the dishwasher and put in a load of washing. Steve had taken our grandson to school and arrived home with the girls just as I left for our foster daughter's school at 9 a.m. 

I had a meeting at 9.15 a.m. to complete a Personal Education Plan (PEP) for Ella. I met with her school teacher and the teacher who comes in twice weekly to give extra support from HIVE, our fostering services wellbeing team for looked after children who have things such as dyslexia or learning difficulties or have missed education in the past.

It was nice to have our foster child join us at the end of the meeting; it's only the second time she has felt confident enough to do this. I was back home at 10.30 am, spent an hour with Steve and my granddaughters, hung out the washing, then went to my weekly volunteering role at a local food project at 11.45 a.m., leaving Steve with the girls.
