This one seems to have gone unpublished somehow?


Tuesday
It was school photo day, and for the first time since our nursery days we had our picture taken together.
Yeah, it's probably my last Primary school photo as well, so just in time really.  I think I may have ruined it by having my eyes shut or something though.
Netball was conducted during a few rain showers, we ducked for cover duting the worst of the downpours though.
No such problems at gymnastics, being all nicely indoors.  Mum came to pick me up, which gave me the perfect oppurtunity to convice dad that I hadn't passed my Level 1 badge.  He fell for it completely and was unusually sympathetic, which just made tricking him even better!!!
I watched a programme with Dick and Dom about computer games which led me to resurrect the old DS.  It didn't work.  But after a good charge and Dad giving the contacts a clean with a toothbrush it sprung into life.  I'd forgotten just how cool it was.

Wednesday
Well theres been a ban on playing on the adventure playground, apparently due to peoples little brothers and sisters hurting themselves.  How is that fair?  Rubbish.
I was quite pleased to go straight home, i'd slipped over playing Kingball and had jone an excellent job of skimming the top layer or so from most of my knee.  It was a bit of a mess it must be said.
Yeah, it didn't look great......
I had alovely big pad thing taped to it, which did a good job of soaking up the oozy, gooey sludge.  I decided I was okay for Team Kennet though and kept the pad firmly in place.
Yeah, team Kennet was cool indooors again.
It was.
We were allowed to stay up and watch the final of the Great British bake off afterwards.
How cool, even though we couldn't believe Richard didn;t win?

Thursday
I still had a gooey knee.

Friday
We came home and got straight on with our homework, well, for a little while anyway.
Yeah, the lure of the telly is strong, epsecially on a Friday afternoon.
We did get very good comments for last weeks homework efforts though.

Saturday
We went to the Cinema on Saturday morning, despite a load of carping and moaning.
But the film we watched, Earth to Echo was brilliant, well worth going to see.
Then it was on to Waitrose where we annoyed a grumoy old man by standing and talking to Alan and Hayley who we happened to bump into.
I went out on the bike to see if anyone was about in the afternoon. They weren't.
We ended up playing a few board games with Mum while dad popped out on his bike.
I then did some art work, i'm realy into my art at the moment.
Alan and Hayley came round for tea, we were dead excited to have them round.  
I loved showing them my latest moves (no handed backwards roll off the sofa and running forward flip onto the sofa).
And I got to play Agricola again.  I played on my own this time rather than with Dad, although I didn't win, I did do very well indeed.

Sunday
Well, we had a bit of a lie in.  I bust out a few moves with my magic UFO:


And then decided we'd ride into town and have lunch at the pub.
Yeah, a great idea, met by universal approval as well for once.
I had a ham and cheese panini with salad.
I had an adults cheeseburger and chips.
And then we both had a chocolate brownie ice cream sundae.....lovely!
We had a quick play on Victoria Park and then rode home again.
We settled down to watch the Gymnastics World Championships on telly...i've got a looooooong way to go.
I also started a new piece of art:

The Egyptian God Anubis, i've been quite captivated with our current school project as you can see.  Dad had to go to the airport to pick up Auntie Christine and Auntie Trish who had been allowed to go away for the weekend to a wedding.
So while he was gone I made Ellis her tea.
We had a nice bath and a bedtime story.
And I stayed up quite late watching that Guy Martin documentary where he restored a crashed Spitfire.

Monday
What a wet old day, we still went out at breaktime though, made our toast club toast go all soggy!
Our class was a bit emptier than usual, loads of them went off to St Barts for the open morning, more on this later......
It was street dance week at dance club which was good fun.
Ned Even if I did manage to catch one of Ellis' friends with my foot mid way through a cartwheel.
I'm sure she'll get over it.
Going back to the subject of secondary schools, Mum finally managed to get my application through on the wafty website.  So i'm all signed up for Park House, we find out if I have a place next March.  We've all thought long and hard about it and we're all happy with our decision.  It really helped going to the open evenings last year and again this year.  All three were brilliant it has to be said but I think we all felt i'd be happer at Park House, even if the vast majority of my friends are going to St Barts.......
