May School Dayz

It's been a busy week for the girls at school this week. On Tuesday, the children held their annual May Day Celebrations. As a reception class member, youngest was one of the "Assistants" to the May Queen which meant that she got to dress up and wear a pretty dress and have flowers in her hair. This put eldest's nose out of joint as she was left in big standard school uniform. However, she graciously conceded her fate, and both girls performed their dances fantastically. Youngest did a "circle dance" and eldest danced the "Virginia Reel" with her class. She can't wait for next year and she gets to tackle the Myapole - very exciting!!

This week, youngest also had her class assembly. Her class have been learning about Dragons and Castles, which she read out a lovely report about. Considering that aged four, in January, she couldn't even read, I was seriously impressed that she was able to read her report out loud.

I am so glad that both my girls seems to love going to school, and it is nice to be able to go into school to share in their achievements!

Fruit Salad Woes

Eldest came home from school last week very excited as she had created a Fruit Salad "Recipe", which she needed to buy ingredients for, and take to school today in order to make.

Now I must admit, at the time, I smiled and nodded like every dutiful parent does, but I didn't heed massive attention to what the Fruit Salad consisted of, as I assumed that buying ingredients for a Fruit Salad would include a few apples, maybe some banana's and oranges, and perhaps the odd grape or two.

Fast forward to last night when I grabbed the recipe off of the Fridge to take to the shops to buy ingredients, and what a shock I was in for! Apparently, it appears that my daughter has exotic tastes when it comes to making Fruit Salad!

Her "Red" Fruit Salad consisted of Watermelon, Strawberries, Raspberries, Red Grapes and Pommegranate Seeds... not exactly the average seven year old's tastes!!

So, a trip to the supermarket and my purse is £10 lighter for a fruit salad!! Next time I'll be asking her to make something a little cheaper!!
