Isabella was really missing school so at various times throughout the holidays she has gone off and done some writing!! The first is a list of the names of her extended family!!!

Then we had a shopping list!! We needed: ham, butter, cereal, milk, salad, olive oil and chicken apparently!










The next is a story she decided to write all by herself whilst I was in the shower!

 A Night                            Tiny mouse was sad in the woods.        A time fox live in the clock.

Bad mouse fighted everyone.     They all got away of the bad mouse.

I am such a proud Mummy!!!!

We had an absolutely fantastic trip to London for  a few days and the kids had a brilliant time in all the different, amazing parks and the Natural History Museum. Matteo especially LOVED the dinosaurs and was in awe the whole way round if a little disappointed he wasn't allowed on, in and under everything on display! Emily was without a doubt the best help I could ask for and the children loved it!

A gathering of odd pictures from the summer holidays!

The everyday essential....football!!! They could both literally spend hours kicking the ball, most of the time to each other!

 A spot of home made threading....Matteo found it a little tricky and ended up breaking 2 of them but they both really quite enjoyed it!

 Isabella got a new bike as her old one was really too small! So the training wheels were put back on and Matteo announced it is now his pink motorbike....happy children!

 

We made some pretty cure little ice packs for the emergencies of numerous bumps and bruises.....of course my little helpers were put to work filling them up!

And finally making some stretchy playdough.....great success and they played with it for hours! Very therapeutic and smelt amazing, but after a couple of hours in the sunshine it went very crumbly....hoovered up brilliantly though!
