Tuesday
No netball due to the wet, soggy weather, what a shame.
It was our last gymnastics session prior to the club championships at the weekend. I'm really excited about it.....
We also got our School photo's back, this time on a USB stick.
Meaning we can get them on here easily:
So theres one each:
And for the first time since we were at nursery, one of us together:
Wednesday
It was school trip day. Although it very nearly didn't happen as we didn't have enough adult volunteer helpers for the day. Who can you always rely on to save the day.....Auntie Christine (or Mrs Flack as she became for the day). I was so excited and proud to show her off to my class mates, evenif I didn't get to be in her group.
The day itself was brilliant, we went to the Inntech centre in Winchester. There were loads of hands on science things to get involved with. The highlight though had to be when we made our own air powred rocket for a competition to see who's would stay in the air for the longest. We tested various levels of water to see which gave the most power and ours came second which we were very pleased with.
I hope Auntie Christine had a good day and wasn't too traumatised by it all.
Well she was still at home when we got home from school for a bit of a chat which was nice.
And while Ellis was having all this fun, what was I doing? Writing day.....how lucky, writing, my favourite!!!
Thursday
Never ones to leave something to the last minute, we were frantically trying to sort out hero costumes for Friday's Children In Need fundraiser at school.
I wanted a batgirl outfit, bit of a tall order at this late in the day but due to Mum being well on the ball she got some pretty good pieces from town. Dad and I fashioned a rather bnifty eye mask using a combination of the Ipad, some black felt, some masking tape, a pencil and some scissors.
My idea was a Captain America outfit. Im too big for shop bought outfits now, but Mum and Dad managed to find a Captain America outfit in Tesco, albeit one to fit ages 7-8. I tried it on, it's fair to say it was a little too short in the body......and rather uncomfortable. The idea was to cut the legs off and make it into a t-shirt instead, so with the aid of a pair of scissors and some precision sewing from Mum
I was pretty much set. But I did need a shield really.....Dad sorted one out for me and coloured it all in while I watched Amazing Spaces with Mum
Friday
So, here we are in our hastily cobbled together outfits:
We were pretty pleased it has to be said.
I tell you what wasn't so cool though.......Match Attax cards have now been banned at school. Boo.
Saturday
The first of our pre christmas traditions, the trip to Daniels to inspire our list making.
Yeah, the one shopping trip of the year we don't complain about.
Well apart from having to walk all the way from the car park to town.
All of 10 minutes Ellis.......
We didn't really know what we wanted before we went, we certainly got plenty of ideas though.
And of course we loved seeing the train still going round under the cieling.
We had lunch in Costa's and then did a bit of general shopping in some far more boring shops.
Yeah, I tried and failed to get myself some winter boots.
We got home in time for a bit of a slump before we took Dad roller skating.
I was raring to go again.
I was a bit more hesitant but decided i'd go along and take it a bit easy this time.
We were well pleased that Dad decided to have a go, he wasn't as good as Tegan and Lola's Dad but he did rather well.
Except for when he pushed me along with a hockey stick and I ended up on my backside with a bit of a bump.
We even did a few laps three abreast, all holding hands which was lovely.
I also won my race this week, albeit against a load of younger girls. My nearest rival was lightning fast in a straight line but couldn't manage to stay upright around the corners. Still, as Mum said when we got home and told her about it all, a win is a win!
Sunday
The big day was finally here, my club championship gymnastics competition. I had high hopes after last years medal winning performance.
I didn't, I knew it was going to be a long and boring morning. I took along my homework and got pretty all of it done.
We had five events, the beam:
Which I did okay at.
So it was a bit of a strained trip in the car to Anne's for lunch.
It was nice to see Anne though, it had been a while.
We had a lovely lunch and a trip over to the park near her house.
It's a seriously cool park as well, plenty of challenging monkey bars.
Monday
We danced along to Shampoo's trouble, we really got into that, it was great fun.
And then after tea we managed to catch up on I'm a celebrity which had started a bit too late for us to watch on Sunday night.
We might not have any idea who any of them are, but we do like laughing at them!
