Well the world cup is still rumbling on and England are still in it. We had a trip to Abi and Faye's for this match against....Colombia, yes, that's it. The weather is still proper summery so we're getting quite used to spending so much time outside. It was another eventual win for England after what the adults assured us was a more usual extra time and penalties. We were assured that an England penalty win is quite a rarity.
Wednesday
I had been seriously excited about my Park House visiting day and it was finally here. I walked up with Amber and we all made our way to the hall. The day was a bit if a blur really, but I had a great time. I found out that I'm in the same house as Ned, Elm, the Blue one.
I'm also in with Leo, which I am utterly delighted about. We hoped this would be the case. I've also got Eloise, Amelie and Molly from John Rankin. Bonus.
It was Mum and Dad's turn to go for a visit in the evening, they got to meet my new tutor and have a mooch about, not that they needed it as they are pretty familiar with the setup, they went with Emma and Dean though so that was nice for them.
Thursday
In another long-waited-for event, the outdoor pool finally opened. Miraculously this didn't coincide with the weather turning rubbish. By the time I got home from school Mum and Dad were chomping at the bit to go, so we convinced Lily to come along with us and we were off.
It was lovely down there (except for the fallen pine needles sticking in your feet) and it wasn't even that busy:
Friday
Another big day lined up....Sports day, after school football match against year 7 (last years year 6 team) and then our leavers disco.
So sports day, cancelled last week as it was too hot.....saved for today which was equally hot!
It was the usual format, with events sprinkled about the playground and the field.
I did at least get one goal on the netball which was an improvement:
Standing long jump went well, full commitment as you can see here:
And we won the relay in a very convincing fashion:
The real icing on the cake though was beating the Mr Swan's other year sic class at the tug of war. Mrs Rance class are a very strong and cohesive unit!
It was too hot for the victory parade for the winning house in the afternoon so Mr Rayner took the results home with him for the weekend!
After school we had a bit of an end of term ritual, playing the old year 6's (now year 7's) at football and Netball. We managed to keep the football at 0-0 during a pretty action packed game. We eventually sneaked a winning goal deep into stoppage time with a little help from Mr Swan.
Leavers disco then, great, no annoying youngsters to get in the way and Mum banned from being a helper for the night. I got picked up by Dobbie and we went down to school together without the parents in tow. We all had a great night, plenty of dancing and decent music and no Mum volunteering to be a helper either.
Saturday
We had a big group outing to the Outdoor Pool today, Us lot, Andy, Finlay, Millie, Kimi, Marny, Nate and Joel and all the associated adults too. We had a great time, splashing about in the warm sushine. We stayed for a bit of a picnic too before the pool started emptying out....it was like there was somethong gping on?

Oh yeah, there was, England were playing Sweden in the quarter final of the world cup. We carried on to Andy's (by bike) for a barbecue and to watch the game. Well, I didnt pay much attention as I took my hammock along. I plugged myself into my music and actually drifted off to sleep for a while before sharing it with the others for a bit:
It was a comfortable win for England, so thats the semi final and another get together!
Sunday
We were off to Alans for lunch and the day didn't get off to a great start when I accidentally deleted Whatsapp on my phone.

I was quite philosophical about it and we had a great time playing with Nate and Joel.

Monday
Well we waited all weekend to find out that my house, Craven had won sports day!
We were thrilled and it makes such a change for someone else to win.
Shame we didnt get our victory parade on sports day but hopefully so,ething else will happen on that front.
I got home and gave myself an eye mask treatment, to much laughter from mum and Dad saying it made me look years younger and got rid of the non existant bags under my eyes,
