Busy week - day 1

Thought it was my karate grading today but luckily it is next week!

It was my cello run through though. I played the pieces with Rosemary who is playing piano for my exam on Friday.

It went well but Mum says I need to practice Stinkbomb some more to get the timing right.

Dad is in Barcelona this week with Grandpa. If you are reading this Dad and Grandpa 'how are you doing? Night!'.

School bus-ted

Written my party thank you cards and watched Lulu go out on Strictly - Zill's programme.

Back to school tomorrow - night night.

Leah's birthday

We went to Leah's third birthday today.

Mum used the satnav on her phone and took us to The Grove - a weird pub in Muswell Hill. We should have been at soft play in Ally Pally.

We laughed a lot and Dad shouted at Mum.

We eventually arrived and had time to play, eat and see Leah blowing out her candles.




Then we looked around Ally Pally. We saw the BBC tower, ice rink and view of London.

Saturday

I came third in my chess competition today!!!!

There weren't enough trophies so Mr Tuck is going to bring mine to school on Wednesday.

At first I thought I was second - the. I thought I was fourth and hadn't won a trophy - then I realised it was a tie and I had come third - only 1/2 point in it!

Afterwards I went to laserhub for Bradley's birthday and the. To see Gareth and Vicky at Vicky's parents house near us. They bought me awesome Dr Who presents and a jumper - thank you!!

I wanted Gareth to play me at chess but he said he would have to practice first. I am going to let him as he still wont beat me. Haha.

Friday

We walked Byron on Worthing Beach on Friday with Mum, Steph and Byron's best friend Millie the Dalmation.



We went to see the fish man and I chose Plaice for tea - Dad and Cosi cooked it later after zill had been to fireworks and when I was back from chess!

Steph bought us fish and chips for lunch and I watched football in her flat. She like Tottenham and football and we talked lots!

Thursday 3

After the gallery we crossed the wobbly bridge which wasn't that wobbly and went to St Paul's.



We went to the front and saw Tent City and all the protestors who are angry with the banks and big companies.



There was man shouting about God, people in masks and lots of banners.

( will add video when blogger is working !)

This is what it looked like.

Thursday 2

(video to follow when blogger
Is working properly)

This was me in one of the galleries. We also saw cubism, surrealism, futurism and lots of different types of art and sculpture. We saw some surrealist and Picasso pictures with naked ladies too!

Thursday

Mum had the day of again on Thursday and we went up to London. Zill and I wanted to go to an art gallery and we chose the Tate Modern.



We arrived into London Bridge and walked through Borough Market. We found somewhere selling goat's cheese and took this picture for Dad because he wants to keep pygmy goats. This makes Grandma cross but i think it is an awesome idea.




We also walked past Shakespeare's Globe theatre on the way to the gallery.




When we got there we went to the huge Turbine Hall. Tacita Dean had made a video exhibition and we sat and watched it for a while then ate our lunch on the steps there.



We then went to the different galleries. I liked this Andy Warhol picture.



And this pop art picture.



And these weird red stairs!



And this Monet picture which made me pleased because I like Monet and have drawn one of his paintings at school.

Still on halfterm...

And yesterday Mum had the day off and took us to Warnham Nature Reserve.



I asked if we could go into the sheep field and it was so cool - we got really close. They were rare, black and big horned.



We also went round the reserve looking for the numbered points and disturbed the same man in 3 bird watching hides!
