Xavier update by Mr Betts

Xavier is at school two hours a day at the moment.He starts at nine and finishes at eleven am. He is now staying for morning tea till eleven twenty and he is very happy that he is allowed to play in the playground. I have him from ten thirty till eleven and sometimes I work with him in the class while at other times I take him out of class to help him focus on the task at hand. This is usually class work that we need to work on. He often says he is tired but I repeat to him often that he is only at school two hours a day for work and so he needs to try and focus at these times and try and get as much use out of his brain as possible. He needs to show he can work well and follow instructions for that amount of time, getting his work done in the time he has. If he can show this then the school will be able to extend his time at school. Which is something he wants to do. He is very easily distracted and finds it very hard to stay on task for any more than a minute or so. He has to be constantly refocused back on the task at hand.
