People Never Change

Below are snippets of my school reports from Camelsdale Primary school – Between the age of 5 and 8 years old.

1984
Kate really enjoys all arts and crafts activities – she is particularly good at modelling in plasticene. Her drawings are lively and detailed.

1985
Kate is a cheerful, happy little girl. She is kind and caring with her friends and generously shares her things with them. She can be strong willed and determined in some matters. She participates in all class discussions, enjoys group activities and one to one conversations. She frequently brings her “boxes” in with innumerable treasures to share with her classmates. She has a good memory and has confidently recited in front of the school. Kate enjoys all books particularly animal books.

1986
Kate has made steady progress in all areas of the curriculum and consequently has become more confident in her own ability. She can still be a chatterbox but she is trying hard to improve this.

1987
Kate is a very active child who enjoys all forms of physical activity. She shows some good mobility and control in P.E. and movement. She has good organising ability and a strong personality which can help her in group work. She is usually happy and keen to be helpful in class. Kate enjoys working with materials. She can produce bold pictures and nice prints.

1988
Although Kate can be rather dreamy she tries very hard and has a positive attitude to her work. She is very enthusiastic member of her class who is always willing to help others. Kate finds interest in environmental sciences rather than experimentation and is keen to study animals and plants. Kate is very active during class and group discussions and is particularly interested in adult conversation. She can transfer visual images to paper or fabric in a satisfying unique way and should be encouraged in this area.
