Model Pupil

Jordan LOVES to pose for a few photos! We have often wondered whether we should cash in on his willingness to be photographed & get him modeling for an agency!! Auntie Helen bought him some new clothes at Easter but he was too ill while Helen was with us to try them on so I said when he was better we would take some photos to show her what he looked like in them. We had fun doing some catalogue poses!
Jordan was hand picked out of the 100 plus primary aged kids at our church to be involved in a photo shoot for various publicity things a few months ago. The lady organising it had told us that Jordan was a STAR being photographed & he certainly enjoyed himself! We couldn't believe it last week when we saw him on the front cover of our church news magazine! Jordan was delighted & showed the magazine to everyone! ;o) ;o)

Not only is Jordan a good model he is a model pupil too! We got his school report this week & it is amazing! Here are a few things his teacher said about him (coz I am so proud of all his hard work!)

......'Jordan is a confident member of the class. He consistently works at a high level; he is interested, excited & motivated to learn... Jordan is becoming more confident about speaking in a familiar group...and is sensitive to the feelings of others...Jordan has shown determination with all aspects of his work this year & he likes to complete things to the best of his ability...'

And here is my favourite part! 'His bubbly personality is infectious & he is a delight to teach.'

We have been working on good behaviour with all of our boys with the aid of sticker charts. They work really well & the boys love getting stickers, especially the very shiny star stickers we give them when they have been little angels! Jordan also has an extra chart (which we started today) to help remind him to do his jobs. We decided a while ago that it would be great to give Jordan pocket money so that he can save to buy presents for his friends birthdays or whatever but that he would have to earn it by doing jobs around the house. If he does all his jobs (making his bed, keeping his room tidy, clearing the table etc) then he gets 50p pocket money. It soon adds up I can tell you! He took Lee bowling with his pocket money the other day!!! Anyway, as you can see from the photo, Jordan loves his charts & has got rather a lot of shiny star stickers & only one sad face! (Sad faces can be covered up if behaviour within the time slot improves otherwise they stay put. No-one wants to get a sad face!)


Well, that's enough boasting about our lovely Jordan's achievements! Time to go for a rest as I am full of cold & Lee has taken the boys out to Blue Planet so I can rest up! Enjoy your weekend!
