Today was Sport's Relief Day at Roman's school so he went to school in sporty clothes as this afternoon they had to walk around the schools grounds to the equivalent of a mile. Roman isn't sporty at all (apart from swimming lessons) and we had to borrow the tracksuit bottoms from Dylan as normally Roman wears jeans. So this morning he felt like a proper athlete wearing tracksuit bottoms and knowing he had to walk a mile!
Roman's certificate.............
Anais stayed after school today after she decided she wanted to take part in the Sport's Relief challenge at her school too. She had to run around her school grounds to the equivalent of a mile. Luckily it didn't start to rain until she got home.
Today was week three of the course "Working with Children - An Introduction". More people turned up today so the course is being allowed to run.
I am slowly mastering the die cutter!
Problem 1 - not cutting where I want it to was because I didn't load the mat properly
Problem 2 - intricate shapes will not cut out on thin card at small sizes, use thicker card and make sure the sizes are bigger

The buds on the bush in the back garden are starting to open to a lovely pink colour. Last Thursday they were still tight little frosted balls of bud.
A good day for me and Roman today!
In January they had a readathon in Roman's school and he won a £5 book voucher which he brought home today! Well done Roman!
