The beginning of catch ups, Tamika....

This photo Tamika got the role of BBQ toast on out last camping trip, she did a great job:)


Tamika is 8 in July and in year 2 at school. She has a lovely teacher this year, as she always has had really, and is going along well at school. She is in the highest levels for spelling and maths, and her reading is amazing, her home readers are mini novels now that take up to an hour to read. I usually sit thru a chapter or two and leave the rest till quiet time before bed. Then she writes down the words she doesn't know or understand and we go thru them. She is also about to start the Premiers reading challenge and is going to do the year 3 and 4 books. Which i think most kids are, but sounds good.

She has completed the swimming scheme thru school now too and really enjoyed that. I must also get her back into normal swimming lessons.

Dancing is her 'thing' still, and does after school dancing and another dancing class at sport time, that actually starts to gear them up for the big school spectacular in the future.

She still has a heart of gold as she always has had, and is now leaning towards nicer friends as such. Lucky there is plenty of them around.

Generally she eats well and is a good girl at home, she is especially good with Tahlia, and they will end up good friends at this stage. She would dress and do heaps to help with Tahlia but being the head strong person Tahlia is, she normally complains and wants me. Tamika definitely tries hard to help with Tah's, that's for sure.

With Jared she shows off a bit and asks him to spell words well beyond him, that's about the most negative thing i can think of. She just gets the 'well I'm glad you can do year 2 stuff well, I'm sure Jared will too in 2 YEARS TIME'!
