Tuesday
Swimming with the school was good today, we finished our lesson stuff early enough to have a go at diving for the rings.  I loved that.
When we got back to school we did our belated sponsored pancake flipping.  I managed 18 which I was sort of pleased with.
time for ring diving
Max visited school in some capacity from St. Barts, don't know why, I only saw him briefly.
It was watching week at gymnastics for the first time in the new gym.  My linked backwards rolls right across the floor were quite impressive according to Mum and Dad.
Mario Kart!!!!  It's still my favourde game after playing it at Butlins, i'm loving it.

Wednesday
Team Kennet night and it was almost light when we got dropped off which made dodging the puddles on the way in a lot easier.
One girl was sick in the sportshall though, that was a puddle we really wanted to dodge.

Friday
We did our class assembly on living together.  Which managed to blend bits on living in India and the Civil War.  Mum said I spoke my lines very well.
I also got my Bronze times tables certificate, a bit delayed but i was chuffed to bits with it.
After school I was off to Sasha's for tea.  We were both mad excited about it and there had been much squealing and excitement in the build up.
So, seeing as Ellis wasn't going to be about, I managed to get Robert round for Xbox and Pizza.  Forza Horizon 2 was the game of choice.  It's brilliant and i'm totally loving the barn finds.
Sasha's was so cool, we played we bounced on her trampoline, we had sausage and mash for tea and best of all we tended to her chickens in the garden!

Saturday
So we had to do some shopping today....urgggh.
Yeah, we ll we have explorer costumes to make so it was a trip to Reading for the hobbycraft shop.  I've decided on Neil Armstrong so we needed some space suit specific stuff.
I decided on Jaques Cousteau, being won over by the fact that wearing my swimming stuff to school, maybe my wetsuit, swimming hat, mask, snorkel, flippers, some old armbands and carrying a fishing net would be good for a laugh.  As an added bonus I wouldn't have to make anything either, giving me more Forza time.
We went to Toys R Us as well, I spent a little bit more of my Christmas money on a lovely big, soft, fluffy Panda.  He will in no way take over form my original panda, but he is a fabulous addition to the family.
And I bought a Lego Mclaren, rather cool it is too.
Mum put in an epic effort of cycling into town, getting me a white outfit to customise into a spacesuit and cycling back again in just over an hour. While I had to have endless fittings for a space helmet that dad was making.
It was finally roller skating time again after a two week lay off.
Yep, I couldn't wait.  The queue was massive this week but when we got in both Sasha and Evie were there.  They couldn't believe how fast I could go.
I spent a lot of time practicing my race starts.  It stood me in good stead and I managed a third place against some pretty stiff competition.  I was gutted to find out that only winners won a lolly this week though.

Sunday
We had a rather quiet morning, doing homework, watching telly....
....finding abandonned classic sports cars in barns in the south of France.
It was a lovely sunny morning and I did my home work outside in the garden for a while.
We decided we'd pay Alan, Hayley and the bump a visit in the afternoon, by bike.
I had a small tumble on the canal towpath, fortunatley I flopped the right way and didn't end up in the canal.
We had a quick play on the park at Northcroft and then climbed the hill to their house.
We heard all about Hayleys appointments and classes for the baby.
It sounds like Alan has taken them all very seriously......
And then just as we decided it was time to come home, it rained.....hard!
We had to wait on a bit until it eased up but it was still really wet on the ground.
So it was quite a soggy ride home.
Maybe I need some mudgaurds on my bike, I had a rather wet and muddy bum and back by the time I got home.
We watched Off Their Rockers before bed, Mum found it hilarious.
So did we!

Monday
We got an email today to confirm my place at Park House in September!
I've been a bit wobbly about it recently, I think it's hit home that pretty much all my friends will be going to St Barts.......
