Back to school day.
Yes, it was, never mind we made the best of it.
We did, We've stared our new topic, Space. Brilliant, I was well enthusiastic about this one. I answered the most questions during class and have pretty much become the class space expert (i was the only one who knew qho Buzz Aldrin actually was). As well as that, I had my new back to show off with too, everyone was well impressd with it.
We started doing a project on Charles Darwin and his discoveries. I was well into that too.
The Skylanders I spent my Christmas money arrived, record time! They are of course awesome. As ever, the game is secondary to collecting the awesome figures.
It was also our first week back at gymnastics club, I was over the moon about this and was raring to go. I'd been practising my splits all over Christmas.
I didn't have any netball this week, but didn't bother with my usual whinge about having to take her as i'd just downloaded Minecraft onto my Ipod, it's awesome.
Wednesday
On further school news, we've been doing rounding up and down. Dad tested me on it on the way home from school, i've got it down though, it's pretty easy really.
I spent my Christmas money on a Furby Boom. It came today,
I was really excited. She's a crazy one thats for sure. I named her Khee-Bay and she was great fun, jibbering on, singing and what have you. I synced it up to my Ipod from which you can feed her, shower her and play games with her. What I didn't like though is when her voice went all deep and she started being really mean and moody. None of us knew why and even being nice to her didn't bring the old Khee-Bay back. I was so upset, I cried.
So we switched her off and played Cluedo instead. Mum won, Dad was hopeless again of course.
We managed to cheer the grumpy Furby up again afterwards.
And I gave Dad a lesson on playing Minecraft, which was rather futile bearing in mind his age.
Thursday
I hadn't seen Dad at all this week in the mornings before he'd gone to work. I made a special effort to get up and give him a cuddle today.
We were full bore on Space again at school, i'm loving it.
After school dance club was also a load of fun this week.
We played Jungle Speed after tea, we're alll loving that.
Friday
Last day of the school week.....
And a return to swimming lessons.
Again, no grumbling from me for Ellis' activities, I did my maths homework and then played Minecraft.
Andy and Owen came round in the evening to play a few games.
We had a game of Jungle Speed and Dobble before I went off to bed.
Then we played Ticket to Ride, which Andy won!
Saturday
A lovely sunny day at long last.
Indeed it was, we made the most of it and headed for a sledgeing session in Ringwood:
We hadn't been since last Christmas and we were right up for it.
It was great fun, zooming down the hill.
The uplift queue was a bit lengthy at times though:
I decided to walk up and get more goes back down. I even pulled Ellis up on hers a couple of times.
He did, what a nice brother he is sometimes.
Once we finished we went into the clubhouse for a hot chocolate.
It was a lovely one too, topped with loads and loads of squirty cream.
We then pressed on for Southbourne beach for a delicious car picnic.
A plain baugette for me.
A full size salad bowl for me!
Then it was out of the car to enjoy the sunshine:
Skimmers, wave dodging, all the usual activities.
We walked for miles and miles, the dunes were great.
Jumping off them was even better:
It was, I couldn't quite match Ned but gave it a good go:
Then I decided to get lost in the dunes and cause a mild panic amongst mum, dad and Ned. I don't know why, I knew where I was all along!
Sunday
Well, back to another grey damp sky.
We did homework in the morning.
Mine was easy this time, design a front cover for my project book.
And I had to research another famous scientist, I chose Vonn Brown, the rocket chap.
I made a collage of a rocket as a start:
Now all I have to do is some words to go with it.....
I finally got to see Hugo, he came round, we played Age of Empires, drank lemonade and then went off to his house.
I wached loads of the music channel and then played with the Furby with Mum. We fed him all sorts and he did a massive poo!
I was told to be back at 6 for tea, Mum had to come and get me, caught me redhanded watching a film at Hugo's at half past six. I was not popular.....
Monday
Not much to report really. Tried another game of Age of Empires, got stuffed this time.
Dancing after school was very enjoyable though! As was the walk home afterwards, it totally chucked it down so of course I removed my coat and dawdled home ensuring I was totally soaked through.
