My big brother Michael!

My big brother Michael came round to see us on Sunday with our nephew Alfie. I love it when Michael comes round as he always lifts me up to the ceiling and holds me up there for ages!

Feeding the ducks

Daddy had to work last weekend and Mummy likes to keep us busy whilst he is working! So, she arranged for us to go for a walk around Hawley Lake with her friend Janet. After meeting at Janet's house we walked into Hawley Woods (picking some chestnuts on the way!).

Since we went quite early in the morning (it was 10.30am ish!) the ducks were still really hungry. Luckily we took lots of bread and I enjoyed throwing it in to them! Sam however prefered eating it! After using up all our bread, we went for a walk around the lake. I ran most of the way whilst Mummy and Janet chatted.

We didn't make it all the way around the lake as we ran out of time (Sam needed his lunch!) but Mummy said we walked a good few miles! No wonder I fell straight to sleep that night!

Playing with my brother!

Ever since Sam was born I have been waiting for him to be big enough for me to play with. At the weekend we were really busy building a village with all our Fisher Price Little People. I built a really good town, complete with park and Zoo. However, Sam proved to be very destructive and liked crawling over everything and breaking things up rather than actually playing with me. I hope he soon grows out of this!!!

History Week

During my first full week in Year One, we had a History week. We learnt all about the Great Fire of London (I have enjoyed teaching Mummy all about this!). We also had to dress up as a character from the past. Mummy and Daddy spent a long time thinking about what I could dress up as and after a visit to Woolworths, decided on Captain Blackbeard!

I learnt that Captain Blackbeard was a robber that stole things off ships in America a long time ago. (In my news book I put that I died 100 years ago but I think it was nearer 300 years ago!)

My friend Isobel!

During the summer holidays I had my friend Isobel round to play. (I had been to her house to tea and Mummy returned the favour during August - even though she was feeling poorly that day).

I played really nicely with Isobel (especially as she is a bit of a Tom Boy!). We were really busy and did some colouring and lots of dressing up! I keep squeezing into my Power Ranger outfit even though it is miles too small for me! Isobel liked dressing up as Jake from the Tweenies!

We also got the paddling pool out even though it was a bit cold. We didn't mind that!!!

A Weekend Visitor!

Now that I am in Hedgehog Class we have to do much more work and writing then when I was in Rabbit. We do get to do some fun things as well though!

Last Friday Mrs Francis chose me to take "Spike" - our class's cuddly hedgehog home for the weekend. We got a big plastic folder with Spike in, and also a "news book" to complete (and last year's news book to show you how to do it!). Basically we had to show Spike a good time and take photographs of what we did and write about it!

On Saturday, we took Spike to see AFC Wimbledon. He enjoyed meeting Hayden the Womble and he liked cheering the goals, especially as we won!

On Sunday, Daddy helped me to make a bird box to put in our tree. Spike thought he was going to live there!

On Sunday afternoon I had to write up Spike's visit in the News Book. Mummy was very pleased with my neat writing!

I was very sad on Monday morning when I had to take Spike back to school, but I think he enjoyed his weekend with us!

Holiday at Haven!

Last weekend before I went back to school, we had a little holiday. Mummy, daddy, Sam, Maddie, Lisa, Abbie, Marie, Charlie and I went to stay in a Haven caravan in Pagham, near Chichester.

The holiday park had two lovely swimming pools, one inside and one outside, which we used lots (although we only had nice weather on one of the days so we only used the outdoor one once!)

In the evening we went to the Clubhouse where we watched shows and joined in the animal parade. I really liked Bradley and Rory.

It was great fun in our caravan, which had three bedrooms (which was just as well as there were loads of us!). It was great fun eating all my meals with Sam, Abbie and Charlie.

Because there was so many of us, we did tend to wake up quite early in the morning. Sam was the first to wake up, usually around 5.30am, but I think this is because he didn't like the travel cot he was sleeping in! Then this would wake up me,Charlie and Abbie and we all enjoyed having biscuits and milk before breakfast.

We all went to Littlehampton for the morning and enjoyed playing on the amusements. Lisa was really good at the claw machines and she won a huge Dora and a bumble bee. I wanted a cuddly Sonic but no one could win one of those!

All too soon we had to come home, we were all really sad to come home again and can't wait to go back again soon.
