Tuesday
I was still keen on gymnastics despite my displeasure at the competition. Mum came to pick me up, I love it when she comes.
Netball was good again, but the nights are certainly drawing in and it was getting pretty dark by the time we finished.
Wednesday
There was no Abi at Team Kennet, which was a shame but I did get involved in a hair platting session with some of the other girls.
It was dark wet and very busy outside too, I think there was a parents evening on....
Thursday
Rugby was certainly popular this week, theres was loads of us for some reason?
We had a chat with Mr Gilham about sport and life in general while we were waiting for them to finish.
Friday
It was our turn to host class assembly this week. I didn't think Mum was going to come but she managed to pull it off at the last minute,
I was so pleasd she was there. I had a line to read out about the Egyptians which I delivered loud and clear. Afterwards she came back to our classroom to see what we'd been up to. The grown ups got biscuits too! Another great by product of this was that we were able to arrange me going back to Amy's for tea after school, how cool!
I went to the Infants for Golden Time to help with some sports and games with them, I loved it. Sounds like I did well too, Mr. Gilham told Dad that i'd been really mature, really enthusiastic and at one point stopped the game they were playing and got them to move away from the wall they were in very real danger of running into. He did add that as soon as I set foot back on Juniors soil I reverted to my usual daft self.
Once I realised we would be Ellis free after school, Robert and I quickly managed to arrange him coming round for a Nerf war and some Forza Motorsport action on the Xbox.
Mum was working late so we went to pick her up, unfortunatley though the security chap didn't realise and locked her in! She rang dad with the alarm cleary audible in the background and we came to the conclusion she wasn't going to get out quickly enough for me to get to the disco on time if we waited for her. So we left her in there, waiting for the keyholder to free her. We got home as quick as we could, I had an emergency tomato sauce sandwich, got changed (shorts) and got there just in time for it to start.
It was my first Junior school disco, we didn't do any dancing though and spent the eveningtalking and getting badly done face paints that took a lot of getting off.
We didn't do much talking, we were too busy dancing. I think our current crop of year 6's are a right music loving dancing bunch. We loved it from start to finish even if it wasn't as good as previous disco's we've had. This time round it was only an Ipod playlist stuck on a boom box with a couple of wafty disco lights, one of which broke. We also got the dubious pleasure of having YMCA played twice.....I mean, is there any need for thst in this day and age?
Saturday
The first of my sporting weekend events, Indoor Sportshall representing the school. We had no training at all for this one, in fact the team was only picked a few days ago. So, we weren't expecting to do very well.
I had to go along worse luck. It was rubbish, soooo boring, I decided to be a pain within about 5 minutes.
I did the chest push as my individual event and did okay but my real standout prrformances came in the relays. I did one with a year five girl, she ran a good leg and I got handed the baton in third place. I managed to really turn it and win our particular heat, high fives all round from the rest of the team.
I was still bored.
Then we had the four person relay at the end, Sophie ran the third leg and I ran the last one between us we managed to claw our way from last to take the win! Again, a massive round of high fives.
I think it's fair to say we weren't overjoyed by our overall team finishing position but hey ho, it was good fun:
We popped into town in the afternoon to get our advent calendars.
We snubbed the ones in Mum's shop in favour of the ones in Temptations instead.
When we got home Ali came round for a bit of Minecraft.
And Dad and I went roller skating.
I decided to give it a miss and keep myself safe for my sport.
It was a bit weird without Ned there, but
I got over it and decided I would join in with the games and the race:
Dad did okay again, even if I did blow him away for raw speed (he says it's because he was going all the way around the outside and I was going in ever smaller circuits around the middle).
Sunday
Day two of my athletics weekend, this time for Team Kennet at Eton for round two of the league.
Even better news, I didn't have to go and got to spend the day with Andy instead, here's my smiley face:
We had JJ's onthe agenda and I couldn't wait. It was brilliant, I made Andy squeeze through all the tight holes and I even went from the highest of the drop slides.
We hadn't sorted a picnic out for our day so stopped at the motorway services to puck up some bits on the way. In a stroke of luck they had a Greggs bakery, Mum and I were seriously excited and got some sausage rolls and a gooey middle chocolate muffin.
We made it there in time and pinned on my number, before having a cach up with the boys on the team.
I was down for four events, the leg balance, the parlauf (like a relay, but you can split the laps up any way you like between the two team members), the vertical jump and he hurdles relay.
It was all going very well until i'd handed over the baton on the final leg of the parlauf, when a runner from another team strayed into my lane. I was so in the zone that I didn't notice him and boom, we collided. I sat back on our mat with our coach and managed to just about hold it together until the end of the race....but I was winded and had been whacked in the neck not to mention being pretty shook up. The coach ladies sorted me out, got a cold compress to put on it and made sure I was okay. There was some concern as to whether I could finish my events for the day, that was never in doubt. I did pretty well at my high jump and tuned in another great run in the hurdle relay. We finished second on the day again and are currently second in the overall league.
We all got home at pretty much the same time, i'd managed to make Andy stay at JJ'suntil 4 o'clock, a great effort on his part.
We decided we should go out for tea as we'd done a fair bit apart over the weekend.
Dad fancied trying the new place in town, Bill's.
It was okay really, the decoration was pretty cool.
The chocolate milkshake was lush.
And the mash potato was as good as i'd had outside of home.
Things took a distinct turn for the worse at pudding time though......
Yeah, no chocolate brownie for me, no pecan art for Dad and only vanilla as a free ice cream with a kids meal. Disappointing.
But it was nothing compared to the ice creams, small doesn't even come close:
Having said that, it was certainly very, very funny:
Monday
After school dance was to Taylor Swifts 'shake it off'
The highlight of the routine being us year six boys doing a bum wiggle on the stage thats been erected for the upcoming christmas shows.
