Snippets

This post is a little selection of things S has been up to over the past couple of weeks.

First day after half term was an inset day for S and as it was such a sunny one we wandered over the local park.  The reason for choosing this park is because of the zip wire which S had to herself for part of the time we were there.


Gingerbread men have been baked, there were plans to ice and decorate them but they were eaten before we got to that stage!



On our walk to school one morning we liked the way these leaves were silhouetted against a neighbour's the metal fence




Yesterday the two of us went to another park and took a sneaky box of Maltesers with us! S saw a couple of school friends and played happily for half an hour whilst I read a magazine. Happy half hour for us both.



Back home again we baked some mincemeat cakes from a recipe in the latest Co-operative free magazine. All were eaten with custard after our tea.



A new certificate for the wall, S has achieved her 10 metre swimming badge.

  3. Many congrats to S on the swimming. KP hated the teacher and so dreaded her school lesson. Now that she's at the big school she's delighted that she doesn' have to "see that woman anymore!"
