Monday 4th February – a successful day.

Over the weekend we added some new additions to our family.

Meet Heidi and Bobby (both male) guinea pigs. They are just 8 weeks old.

When mummy went to collect them Bobby nibbled mummys finger so we were all a bit nervous to handle them. They were easy enough to stroke in the box that we got them in but once they were in their cage (guinea pig mansion) they fled every time we put our hands near (to be expected).

Anyway first thing monday morning we did our weekly spellings and some other work. Mummy and daddy also tried to feed Heidi and Bobby some vegetables through the cage door. Heidi and Bobby were still very nervous and kept running and hiding at any small noise.

Then in the afternoon it was time for our board games club. A and X decided on this unusual game.

After mummy read the instructions we started. The aim of the game is to catch up with the chicken ahead and steal their tail feather. It was a nice game. We all were enjoying it when two friends came over. Mummy swiftly swapped places with one and added another chicken in for the other and they began to play the game again with A and X.

The only problem with this game is it is very long to play when you have four players so eventually they all wanted to play something else.

In the end all four of them ended up creating their own game and used imaginary charcters to go around the board.

On the evening A attended her usual football class. She really enjoyed it as usual.

This past week she has mastered the art of walking backwards with the ball.
