Got a bit caught out at last weeks 'informal' parents evening, I maybe didn't tell Mum and Dad the whole truth about our reading regime in juniors. They haven't said anything about it in an official capacity but I think we all know where we stand now. Other than that it appears i'm doing well at this early stage in the year
And so am I by all accounts, I could have told them that. I think Mum and Dad just used the oppurtunity to have a nosey about at all our classroom stuff really. Not that i'm complaining of course as Andy came round to tea and looked after us while they were there.
I had my first school swimming trip on Tuesday, Dad played a blinder and got me a swimming hat that doesn't actullay make me as bald as him every time I put it on or take it off. So with that sorted I was free to really enjoy it, which was a surprise as I haven't always enjoyed swimming lessons in the past. I got moved up from the little pool into group 2 in the big pool with most of my mates, so i'm happy about that as well. In other school news I did so well at maths that I got a 'priority pass' (which means I got to leave first at the end of the day) and a house point!
I had dancing again on Wednesday, loved it as usual.
Although if it had been left to Dad you would still have been there as the poor old fool couldn't work out how to get in once one of the school gates had been locked, good job i'm so on the ball.
We took advantage of Ned staying late for multisports on Thursday by staying and playing in my playground once school had finished. Then when we got home we had a visit from Darcey and Laura. I was so excited of course, I drew Darcey a picture and did some lovely writing with Laura.
I did hockey, it was good and I really enjoyed it, even if getting whacked in the shins with a stick hurt a bit.
I got my learning log for the first time friday, I was so excited about it I wanted to do it as soon as I got home, we got busy cutting and sticking straight away.
And I had my first week of new, improved Junior school style Golden Time. This week I did gardening club with Mr. Jones. It was cool, we did some weeding and dug up some carrots and potatoes.
Leo came round in the evening with Emma while Max went to a party at the school, he looked really grown up in his school uniform. We had a lovely game of cars.
Had a trip out to the new small BMX/pumptrack in Bucklebury on Saturday morning.
I rode Ned's old spider bike again, and even though it might be a little big I did really well on it and only had a couple of crashes which I shrugged off.
Once i'd toned my style down for the smaller track I was loving it as well.
There was a nice park right next door too:
In the afternoon we went to the Oasis swimming pool in Swindon, yay, swimming, my favourite!
I begrudgingly went along....then had a great time!
I even went on the big flume slide all on my own. Quite brave I reckon?
We stayed in for ages, way past when our session had ended and everything.
Then on Sunday we had a trip to London on the train, to see the Lion King show.
We actually got to sit in proper seats this time rather than standing up all the way too.
We had a short trip on the underground which was great fun with all the escalators and then we had a Pizza Hut for lunch.
An underground Pizza Hut at that, how cool.
We then made our way to the theatre to take our seats:
We were quite near the front, but also right on the end of the row. We didn't realise how cool that was until the show started and all the animals came down through the theatre right next to us, good seat booking skills Mum!
It was brilliant from start to finish, it must have been, even though I was super tired I didn't get close to falling asleep.
I was also seriously impressed, even though one of my friends at school said that you could see the animal actors faces, I didn't even notice once it had started. The singing and the dancing was brilliant and I lapped it up, well it one of my favourite stories after all.
