Tuesday
I had a bit of a rubbish day at school, I got blamed for a few things that weren't my fault, it got me on a bit of a downer.
Then it was gymnastics, pretty much the hottest day of the year and one of the other girls swiped my bottle and drank my water. I was not impressed at all.
It was just as well Andy came round for tea and to babysit me to cheer me up.
Yes he was, I had the school play to perform in and mum and dad were coming to watch.
Technically its the year 6's leaving play so us year 5's were there in a supporting role,to dance and to sing. I still gave it my all though and really went for it, in fact, I really enjoyed it and the show went off really well. It was a version of Romeo and Juliet, so pretty highbrow stuff. The musicical numbers were a lot less traditional though (a reworded version of lets get ready to rumble and I predict a riot for example), accompanied by a number of dance routines including this line dancing number to achey breaky heart:
We were in green and members of the Montagu household. The rousing finale was a singalong to the Bee Gees Tragedy which we delivered with real gusto.
Indeed they did, I could hear it at home in bed!
Wednesday
We'd also been busy preparing for our end of term performance of the Jungle Book. Today was our first show and it seemed to go really well.
After school football had pretty low numbers, all the year 6's and a chunk of the year 5's cried off to save themselves for the evenings play performance. Still it was good fun with less of us, I got to have a go in goal too.
So in the evening I was off to perform again for our last night of the show.
And I got take mum and dad to my classroom for my parents evening. I declined the offer of joining them when they went in with my teacher Mrs Jackson though. Maybe I should have gone in though, it sounds like she had nothing bad to say about me at all. She even told them that I didn't have a bad bone in my entire body!
I disagree of course, as I suspect would Mum and Dad.
Mrs Jackson is leaving our school at the end of term, I suppose having to deal with Ned and then me has taken it's toll on her. I'm sure she'll be missed by future classes , she's done a really good job on both Ned and I.
Thursday
Day two our play, Mum came along to watch and for the first time ever snagged a seat on the front row! How awesome was that?
Here I am with all my other Vultures:
I delivered my lines loud and clear and played them for plenty of laughs. I loved it.
We had our end of term dance production session too. We all did well sourcing yellow t-shirts to make look like minions for a dance to happy. Dad reckoned it was by far the best one we'd ever done.
We also did a far more artsy dance to a song called the glow, which was also well recieved:
I missed it all though, as I was at our end of term disco. Glowsticks, crisps, squash and very pink faces. This was my last afternoon school disco, once i'm in juniors it'll be all about the friday night ones!
We were finished tea pretty early, it was a lovely evening so Dad suggested we go over to the Craven Arms for a drink and a play on the playground.
Great idea, met with universal approval, off we went.
It went downhill pretty rapidly though, we started squabbling....
Yeah, then I managed to kick my football straight at the table with all the drinks on it. Mum got a pint of coke over her lap and her also her phone. Whoops, not my finest hour.
We went home.
Straight away.
Friday
I had my sports day, the weather was good and Mum said Anne was coming along to watch too, how cool was that???
I did okay, but according to Mum all the other kids started on the 'steady' rather than the 'go' of ready, steady, go!
It was just cool to be outside and enjoying ourselves, especially chucking handfulls of cut grass at everyone under the class gazebo's.
After that it was the joint schools family picnic, we'd got used to the idea that no one was coming for us and were happy we would be spending our time with our teachers and our other unfortunate family-less friends.
So we were blown away when Mum turned up!
Yeah, we were, it was brilliant.
We had a lovely picnic, rounded off with a much needed ice cream on such a hot day.
Yeah, I spotted what was happening straight away and got to the front of the queue!
Mum didn't stay all afternoon so we went back to class, I did a poster about loom bands.
And we watched a few films (jungle book again) and made an awesome elephant mask.
Yeah, we were both really pleased with how it all worked out in the end, nice one Mum!
We rode down to meet mum from work as she had her bike.
We took a picnic and headed into Victoria Park with it.
It was ace, we ate, we rode the skatepark, we played on the park.
Then we rode home with Mum in tow as well.
Her bike has been a great purchase.
Saturday
We didn't really have any plans for the weekend.
So after a few ideas were considered, we started off with a bit of bowling.
We hadn't been for a while so we wrre dead keen.
My game was a bit patchy, a bit hit and miss. I got into it in the end though and sorted my technique out.
I did very well, scoring 100. I was super pleased with that.
We had a go on the arcade, 10p falls for me.
Air hockey for me, I let Ellis play, and then she went and beat me!
We were even allowed a candy floss from the well cool machine thst makes it while you watch:
I suggested a visit to Pets at home on the way home. We loved watching the dogs having a haircut.
The cute rabbits an guinea pigs.
The fish and even the cats that were there for re-homing.
But despite our best, heartfelt lobbying and pleading we weren't allowed any sort of pet.
Not even a fish or two.
After lunch we headed for the library, again by bike.
We were dead keen to start the summer reading challenge.
I was even more keen when I found a section of sports theory books, I got one on mountain biking and BMX and one on netball.
I plumped for more animal based stories.
We did a little bit of shopping.
And I did a little bit of modelling:
Yeah, the entertainer for yet more loom bands!
We then rode home and all got stuck into our new books.
By tea time we'd both read two each!
We had worked up an appetite, so a trip to Pizza Hut was most welcome.
The official excuse being that it was a reward for our excellent school reports.
Sunday
Day two without a plan.
How about a trip to Aldershot Lido then?
Yeah, it was pretty cool too. A big old outdoor pool, with a couple of flume slides.
Chuck in a load of lovely trees and an expannse of plush green grass to set up camp on, a sandpit and we were loving it.
The water was actually pretty warm, of course I was first one in!
We hit the slides and played a lot of ball too.
You were even allowed to dive!
And I got Dad to throw the ball up for me so
I could go for some dead stylish diving headers.
There was a late afternoon fly past of the Red Arrows too.
Yeah, really low in formation right accross the middle of the pool, it was awesome.
We headed home after spending all day there for a quick barbecue for tea.
Monday
The wind down has surely kicked in at school for end of term, we bought all our work books home from this year.
I had my end of term dance performance, lets get ready to rumble and an indian inspired number. I'm not really one for following the dance moves to the letter. I do relish the freestyle sections though.
I came home from school and watched a documentary on the last flying Lancaster bomber.
We watched loads of music videos after tea until it was bedtime....
