Halloween Boy


Halloween Boy

For the first time in 7 years sam agreed to dress up for Halloween. He went to his friend Joe's party as a commando-complete with the face paint. He had lots of fun at the party and has said that if dressing up is always this much fun he may do it again next halloween.

We had a busy week catching up with peterborough friends who were on half term. On tuesday we met up with the boys and they had great fun Wii-ing and playing in the backyard. On the way home sam was delighted to find white fluffy flakes falling from the sky. Sadly for him it did not stick but it was a bit of a shock to have snow in october. On wed we were back in peterborough again, this time to Sacrewell farm to meet up with sarah and the girls. Sam and Christina rough and tumbled their way around the farm and georgie kept everyone in line!! We went on a spooky tractor ride complete with a walk through a haunted barn. We were all a bit unnerved by the giant spider webs and equally giant spiders!!

This week is equally as busy-today we had home ed group. In honor of guy fawkes day our theme was tudors & stuarts and the children all had fun brass rubbing, making rockets, pomanders and fireworks in a jar. Sam spent ages making a hama picture of miko and for once did not spend the session running headlong around the hall.

In addition to normal school work we also have a free screening of Wall-ee to go to and three mini jobs to finis. Matt has downloaded Then Adventures of Tom Sawyer for us to listen to in the car-it will be interesting to see if sam likes it, it is a great story but there are no gadgets and gizmos.
