Shoe Obesession

Evie has found a love for shoes very early in life. Any time you ask where her shoes are she has to go find them and try to put them on. Either that or she looks at her feet and points - 'there they are mummy just where they should be'. This week she started to put the bath toys on her feet and try to pretend they were her special 'bath shoes'

Grandads Slippers are the best!

The joys of being a teacher.

I have so much fun 5 days a week teaching little 7-8 years olds that I thought it was about time I posted some of the wonderful things we get up to. This term we have had some fun days.

First we had fun in the snow and made some great snowmen. They had all disappeared by the next day, which was really sad. We don't get enough snow here in England!

We tried our hand at writing raps. The Disco Sheep was our favourite.
The Disco Sheep danced down the street

Booging to the disco beat...

If you could read the rest of the rap the pictures would make sense.

Then it was World Book day and we all had to dress up as book characters.

I decided to be the White Witch from The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. Unfortunately I wasn't able to turn the children into ice - they were very disappointed!

We also took a trip to Bede's World - We have been learning about The Anglos - Saxons in our History topic and Bede was a famous Anglo Saxon Monk. The children all got to dress up like monks in habits and walk around the church in silence. It is the quietest I have every heard them! We should pretend to be monks everyday.

So there are many joys to being a teacher; painting disco dancing sheep and dressing as a monk are only a few of the tiny snap shots of my average week.

Adventures in the Highchair

Pancake Day - 24th February 2009

Evie enjoyed her first tast of Pancakes on Shrove Tuesday this year. She was more interested in eatting the cream and bananas on the top than the pancakes.

Baking Chocolate Cake - 6th March 2009

The cake mix didn't stay on the mixer for long

Days at the Park

We love to head out to the park when its warm enough and sometimes even when its not. We have become professionals at wrapping up warm but haven't quite got the hang of keeping gloves on.

Trying to feed the ducks, although Evie thought the bread was for her.
