Maths Cup!

Today we are officially the proudest parents ever!!!! ;)

Alfie was presented with the weekly Maths Cup at school. One of the good things about Alfie's autism is his natural ability with numbers. By the time he was 18 months old he was counting the door numbers predicting the next number (odd or even)when he was being pushed along in the buggy, he never had to try very hard to get good marks when he was at Infants...

I think that because he found it so easy he never really had to work at it which has meant that this year he finally fell behind a bit. We had a chat with him and his teacher about it a few weeks ago and since then he has really applied himself and is back where he wants to be.

Hard work pays, a valuable lesson for our little chap...
