Another first

We attended our first 'Learning conference' for Ben today (funky word for parent-teacher-student interview). On the whole, we learnt nothing new - which is how we think it should be. It was a good chance for Peter to see Ben's classroom, meet his teacher, and learn in a bit more detail what Ben's been doing at school (which confirmed I had heard all about from Ben, just through the bits and pieces he chooses to tell me during the afternoons).
