Today started with a visit from friends. A really gets on well with a girl the same age as her called S so she came round today for her second play date. Her mum and sister C came with her. C is 9 so mummy didnt expect X to even talk to her. However to mummys surprise he got on great with her and they had lots of fun. In fact they all played so lovely together that it was hard for the mummies to talk for all the chatter and laughter.
After a good play time everyone had a teddy bears picnic.
F even joined in the fun eating party snacks.
They then all went outside for a good run around. Although S, C and their mummy were visiting for two and half hours it just didn’t feel enough. No one wanted it to end, but it had to as X and A had a science class to get too.
At the hall where the science class was to be held X and A both walked off from mummy right away and started playing which was lovely to see as they are becoming more confident. X was playing a fighting game with B (who he was walking round with at forest school last week).
Everyone had to sit around on mats and listen to the lady explain what they were going to be doing.
X and A were then given a paper template to colour in and cut out. They were then given a paperclip to put on the end to make a ‘helicopter’.
They then had to throw them up in to the air to make them spin back down like helicopters.
After that they had to listen to the lady to find out what to do next. They both listened really well and followed the instructions carefully. They were to make an explosion using old film canisters, some tablets and some water. They had to pipette 5 squeezes of water in to the canister, then break up one large tablet in to smaller chunks. They then had to click the lid on give it a shake before placing it down and moving away from it.
A’s made a huge pop and hit the roof where as X’s didnt work. X couldnt cope with this. He got really upset so the lady tried again for him. It then just popped a little and went sideways, again X was not happy. Mummy promised to do our own explosions at home another time (like we have in the past).
Back at home it was pancake day. Daddy mixed up some batter.
Then X had a go at flipping a pancake and dropped it.
Oops!
Then it was A’s turn. She did well at flipping but got if caught on the side of the pan.
Daddy made himself, mummy, A and F some pancakes.
Mummy and A had malteaser spread on them, yummy!
F had her first try of a pancake and seemed to enjoy it.
On the evening F was shouting at daddys red guitar to have a play. She loves playing guitar.
