I'm a Beaver!
I was lucky enough to start Beavers in September. I really like it, especially as I know so many of the people who go (from my school this year and some that left last year). We do lots of interesting things and on my 4th week, I got invested.
Mummy bought me the uniform and a neckchief and cap and on my investiture I got a blue woggle (I am in blue group). Mummy, Daddy, Sam and Maddie came to watch me make my promise (which I said all on my own rather than saying it after Raksha) although Sam wasn't a very good boy and was very noisy!
We are going to be very busy at Beavers up until Christmas, Mummy has a full diary of events I will be enjoying!!
A new term - I'm a Fox!
A whole new school year - and now I am in Year 2, the last year of infant school.
I am in Fox class this year, lets hope I learn a lot!
Mini Holiday part 3 - Conkers!
On the last day of our little holiday we had tickets to visit Conkers, a big science park like the Look Out. We had fun looking round the exhibition and playing with the gadgets and games. We then caught the little train which took us to another part of the park. We played in the Adventure playground and had a look round the water bit. We caught the train back and then Mummy and I did the assault course. It was supposed to be for over 13's but I managed to do most of it and I was really brave as some bits were very hard to climb and very high! We ate our picnic lunch and then went for a drive (to get Sam to sleep!) and we had a walk round a little town. Then we decided to go back to the hotel for a swim in the pool and our bath and tea! The next morning after breakfast Uncle Trevor met us with Nanny Peggy and we bought her home! (Although the drive home seemed to take forever as the M25 was closed!). Maddie was pleased to see us when we got back! We had a fantastic mini holiday!
Mini holiday part 2 - Alton Towers
After a delicious breakfast in the hotel we headed to Alton Towers. It took about an hour to get there as the Sat Nav was telling us to go a very obscure cross country route! It was quite a long walk from the carpark but we finally arrived and didn't have to queue as we already had our tickets! 
There was loads of things to do. We went on the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ride (I really liked the glass elevator bit at the end) and I got to go to the Peugeot driving school and wizz around a big car circuit! I even got a driving licence with my photo on it! The weather was a bit wet and murky but we still managed to eat our picnic lunch outside. Mummy went on a few of the adult rides (that looked way too scarey for me) and then it started to rain!
The rain didn't stop Daddy and I going on the log flume which was great fun. We dried off a bit looking round the aquarium and Sam loved all the fish.
The sun then decided to come out and we had a great time running about and going on lots more rides! I also got to meet the Alton Towers bear. Sam was a bit scared of him though!
All too soon it was time to go home and we were all exhausted on the drive home. After tea in the hotel bar we all had an early night! Ready for tomorrow's adventure at Conkers!
Our mini holiday!
On the same day as Ben's christening we were going on our mini
holiday. We left the pub at about 2.30pm and dropped Maddie off at Nanny and Grandad's house. We then drove all the way to the East Midlands. We found our hotel room and it was huge - 2 big beds, I was sharing with Sam! After we had looked around and unpacked we got changed and went for a swim in the hotel pool.
We went to the restaurant for our tea and I had a 3 course meal! We then all went to bed as we had had a very busy day and we had to be up early for Alton Towers the next day!
Ben's Christening
Here I am outside the church after my nephew Ben's christening! I am sitting with my friends Thomas and Evie (Evie bit Sam at The Royal Arms pub we went to afterwards!)
Grandad's Birthday
Way back in Agust it was my Grandad's birthday. He came over to vist us and opened his presents and we gave him a cake with some candles to blow out - we only had 4 candles though!
I'm all dressed up as I got to go out for tea with Nanny and Grandad to celebrate, we went to PIzza Express, my favourite!

Camping in the New Forest!
Daddy took Sam and I camping in the New Forest for a night in the Summer holidays. Hannah and Tom, Marie and Charlie came as well. (Mummy stayed at home to look after Maddie as she is too small for camping - that is Mummy's story anyway!).
When we arrived it was pouring with rain and it took Daddy nearly 3 hours to put up the tent. Once we had settled in we went for a walk and had some tea in a pub. After a good night's sleep we were woken up by the noisy rain. We had our breakfast outside and packed up all the camping gear. We went for another walk and saw lots of horses before coming home to see Mummy and Maddie. Maybe we will go camping for longer next year!
Paultons Park
In the Summer holidays, we had a day out at Paultons Park. Lisa, Danny, Abbie, Marie and Charlie. (Sam came as well - we left Maddie with Nanny and Grandad). When we arrived I had my photo taken with Percy the Owl. Sam was very frightened of him!
We went on lots of rides, there was hardly any queue even though it was a Sunday. I went on the log flume with Mummy and got quite wet! I went on a really scarey ride called the jumping jack and I was very frightened (Mummy enjoyed herself though!). We watched the penguins have the tea and saw lots of other animals. At the end of the day Daddy bought me a Percy the Owl to take home with me! I had a great day!
Abbie's Sports Day!
Just like last year, we got to go and watch Abbie in her nursery's sports day! I ran in the children's race with Charlie and Sam and we all got medals. As it was such a hot afternoon we decided to take our shirts of and act like athletes!
Last day as a Hedgehog!
All too soon, it was the end of term and my last day as a Hedgehog with Mrs Francis! I have come such a long way this year and grown up so much, although I think Mummy was more sad I was leaving Mrs Francis than I was! Here is me and Alex with her at the end term!
Going to a disco
We had an end of year disco at school - it didn't finish until 7.45pm! Here is Alex and I just before we went! I think we look cool!
A spot of dressing up!
When Abbie and Charlie came round a while ago, we all decided to dress up! I think we all look great!
Sports Day
Sports Day at school happened to be on my birthday! Since the weather was so hot, we got to wear our own cool summer clothes to school all day. In the afternoon we all had to get into teams ready for Sports Day. I was in Team Canada with Georgia and Abigail Fr from my class. There was 13 activities arranged in a circle around our field (3 of those were drinking stations!) and we had 2 minutes to do each one as a team. The team with the most points at the end was the winner. Team Canada came 5th, but I had a great time!
