Right, we're back on top of this Blog lark again now, so no mega update for everyone to wade through this week.
We're both dead enthusiastic about school this new term.
Yeah, really! I'm super keen to get loads of reading done when got home from school on Tuesday.
I had after school sports club with Mr Gilham so I had to do mine a bit later on after tea.
While I made a start on the cover of my 'new for this year' Learning Log. Our major theme is 'On the move' so I used a bit of a transport theme. It came out really well.
I made a bee-line for the needlecraft stuff again on Wednesday morning at breakfast club. I'm making a top secret project for Mum and Dad so I can't say anymore at this point.
I had the great honour being on on the top table for lunch, a reward for not retailiating and getting involved during an outbreak of bad behaviour earlier in the week. Ella was sat with me too, we had a great time. There's little extras like apple juice instead of water and grapes to pick at. I love grapes, not just to eat either, we had a right laugh squashing them between our fingers.
I had a bit of an oversight this week, when I bought home last years old jotter book. I loved the praise for some of my brilliant doodles and art work but wasn't quite so pleased that Dad found a whole page of 'I must listen' written out as well...oh dear. I hadn't even spelt it right.
Thursday I put myself forward to be the school council representative for my class. I based my manifesto on a flashy powerpoint presentation (animated flames) and a load of promises about being a good listener and being able to put our case forward in a confident manner. I hope I did enough to get enough votes to win. We find out the results in assembly on Friday.
I had dancing after school, our second week, and i'm still loving it. Even if Lionel Richies Dancing on the ceiling isn't a patch on last weeks tune Carly Rae Jepsen's Call me maybe.
While Ned was staying on late I got to play in the playground for a while after school had finished. I got to show Dad my cool moves on the adventure playground, including my 'Chinese Master'
We got our reading done nice and prompt and finished tea pretty quickly so we had a family trip down the park in the evening, making the most of it before it gets too cold and dark I suppose.
Friday then, I found out i'd been pipped to be school council representative by Maxim. I wasn't as upset about it as I thought I would be though, there's always next year!
Not only was school finishing for the weekend, we were off to Croyde camping for the weekend. Proper excitment!
Oh yes, we couldn't wait. Shame the traffic was so bad on the M5 on the way down though. We were only a little bit behind schedule though and we were soon set up with the help of Andy and Owen.
We also saw a fox, he was a lovely cute looking chap, with massive ears. He came really close to us as well but when he realised we hadn't had a bbq or anything else to eat so he cleared off, hunting elsewhere.
The beds were super cosy and snuggly as always:
Being as we only had a weekend we had to make our time count. So after some bacon rolls for breakfast and a bit of a kickabout and a trip to the park, it was off to the swimming pool.
I love the pool here so much. I mean, I like all pools, but this one is proper smart.
Followed by lunch.
Then down to the beach for some surfing.
The best waves i've probably ever had too, brilliant, I loved it. But it wasn't exactly tropical weather. I took to the new beach tent and zipped myself inside:
I was quite happy to tough it out outside for the afternoon though. Digging, exploring the dunes, the usual stuff.
We had a lovely BBQ for tea, including black pudding, chorizo, my favourites:
It took a little longer than we'd have liked to get the bbq's up to speed, so sadly for Owen we missed bingo in the club house.
We were there in time for the kids entertainment though.
We had a dance, played a few games.
And I got to go up on stage for a competition (in the video further down).
We loved it.
But I loved the arcade more, especillay the 2p falls machine.
Yeah, they had prizes on top of the coins too, Ned won me a coupe of Prncess rubbers which was very kind of him.
And I got a car and a rubber, but narrowly missed out on a Harry Styles 1 Direction keyring (Owen thought he was Ruby Wax).
What a day!
We had a bit of a lay on Sunday morning.
And when we did wake up the sun was streaming in through the tent, making us all lovely and toasty warm
We had breakfast out in the sun before heading into Braunton to have a mooch around the shops. I got some lovely flip flops. Now all I have to do is learn to walk in them.
And I got to eye up loads of very expensive stunt scooters and a stand up surf board.
We had some lunch and then hit the beach again.
The waves weren't so nice as the previous day, and the sun had gone in.
So it was a very brief trip on my behalf.
I stayed a little longer and had a go on the skim board too.
We headed back for a little bit of whistling bomb action and genreral larking about for a bit.
I managed to fire it straight in thorough the tent door from quite a distance away!
And then it was time to pack up and head off home, we just got done before the rain started too which was a relief.
We were full of it on the way home, about how much we love camping.
Yeah, but I think thats it for this year, it hasn't been a great summer in terms of weather but we have managed two camping trips so it's not too bad.
We were pretty sleepy on Monday morning thats for sure.
Yeah, still, we made it into school on time and I gave it my all at after school dancing club.
But my enthusiasm for reading was severley put to the test after tea.....
