Well the big topic of the year so far is where should/could Ryan go to school ?   So far it has been narrowed down to Pencalenick School in Truro and Woodlands school in Plymouth.    We will need more information about both of them.   Ryan will be 10 this April so the decision has to be made quickly.   

The special educational unit he attends now has been great but we have been told that they feel they can do no more for him and he needs to move on.   Woodlands is a wonderful place and has the advantage that he could start there this year, whereas Pencalenick can not take him until September 2009.   No doubt it will be the usual fight with the Local Education Authority.

Ryan is included in all family activities, he just needs more help than the other children.

In February we all went to The Big Sheep  .    Ryan, Rebecca and their cousins loved it.

They fed the Sheep, they looked at all the animals and played in the play area .   They all thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Ryan goes to hydrotherapy when the other children from school go swimming.   He has no fear of the water and the water in the hydro pool is really warm (he still cant seem to control his temperature very well and gets cold quickly in a normal pool)
