"What Do You Remember About Your First Day?"

Earlier this week I blogged about the twins and their educational experience so far...from my point of view. That post was initially going to be the twins discussing school but my introductory blurb ended up becoming a whole separate post (I am guessing that will happen lots).

So - as intended - here is my interview with the twins about school:

Q1: What do you remember about your first day?

Ruby: That I was too scared to go.

Poppy: I was excited and I had my lovely hat on.

Q2: What part of the school day do you enjoy the most?

Ruby: Playing in the pretend café and playing on the computers.

Poppy: I like playing on the iPad on a Friday.

Q3: What part do you least enjoy?

Ruby: Going outside in the big yard because there is nothing fun to do.

Poppy: When my friend is rude to me but I tell her to stop being rude.

Q4: What has been the best topic you have had at school and why?

Ruby: "The Toy Box" was my favourite topic because I got to bring my soft toy in for the Teddy Bears Picnic but we got real food which was the best part.

Poppy: "Kings and Queens" was my favourite topic because we read a story called "The Queen's Knickers" which I loved.

Q5: You have both read hundreds of books throughout "Year One" - which one has been your favourite and why?

Ruby: "When Animals Invade" because it was about how animals invade and it said that Polar Bears live outside proper people's houses like ours and they go to Church Hill and get their food there.

Poppy: "When Animals Attack" because it was about animals and how they attack other animals and eat.

Q6: What do you like more about "Year One" than "FSU"?

Ruby: Sometimes we get to have outside play with just my class and not every other class.

Poppy: They have iPads which we didn't have in FSU.

Q7: Is there anything you miss from "FSU"?

Ruby: I miss the toy animals which we had in "The Beehive"

Poppy: I miss the bug area where we had toy bugs to play with

Q8: Tell me one thing that you have learnt that is amazing...

Ruby: That Daddy seahorses have the babies

Poppy: How bears sometimes go in to people's tents and eat food 

Q9: Are you looking forward to "Year Two"?

Ruby: No - I think I might be scared but if my best friends come with me I'll be fine

Poppy: Yes - as long as my friends come with me

Q10: What do you think will be the best thing about "Year Two"?

Ruby: It looks like they might have comfy chairs to sit on

Poppy: I have had a peek at "Year Two" and I think I will like the drawing table.

And there you go - the twins have discussed school, what they have enjoyed about "Year One" and what they are looking forward to in the future. I found this quite an interesting discussion.

Hope you enjoyed reading this.

Until next time...

Me And My Dad: Movies

Me and My Dad:   2: Movies   Like a lot of people my Dad and I share a love of movies. From being a child up until now we still watch movies together on a regular basis and I have great memories of watching movies with him. In this post I am going to share my memories of 5 movies that we watched together and why they have stuck with me. Here goes... 1: The Rescuers Down Under I love animated movies - always have done and always will. Growing up my Mam was not a huge fan of cartoons so we very rarely watched cartoon movies as a family and watched live action movies instead. From an early age I was introduced to some absolute classics such as "Gremlins", "The Goonies", "Private Benjamin", "Overboard", "Big Business", "Indiana Jones" and a whole load more. But my Dad and I would watch animated movies together on a regular basis. The very first movie I went to see at the cinema was with my Dad and we went to see ...

My Top 5 Best And Worst Kids TV Shows

When I was a kid we had 4 channels. Because of that my brother and I just had to watch what was on and didn't really have much choice. During the week there was nothing on the TV in the morning. Kids today don't know how lucky they are. They have hundreds of channels to choose from, channels that are dedicated to nothing but kids TV shows as well as streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime with kids shows on demand. Since the twins were born in 2011 I have been introduced to many kids TV shows. Some of them are brilliant but some of them are just plain awful. For this post I have decided to list my favourites and my least favourites. Here goes... (Note - I haven't included any shows from when I was a kid - only ones that I was introduced to with the twins.) 10: Worst - Topsy And Tim "Topsy and Tim" is an awful TV show! Everything is so perfect! It is just a total false representation of life with kids! Especially with twins! I think when peopl...

"What Did You Think Of.....Captain Underpants?"

For our latest review we took the twins to see "Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie". I say "we"...I let Kate take them with their Aunty Spot while I sat in Costa and read my book with a latte. Here is their review:   Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie       WARNING: COULD CONTAIN SPOILERS     Describe "Captain Underpants" in a nut shell:   Ruby:  It is about a man who is a teacher and a boy who finds a ring and turns him in to Captain Underpants.    Poppy:   Two little boys who love making comics and there was a nasty teacher and they turned him into Captain Underpants.    Kate/Spot:  Comic books come to life.      What was your favourite bit of "Captain Underpants?"   Ruby:  Every time the boy said "Freeze" and talked to the camera (broke the 4th wall).     Poppy: When he was changing to Captain Underpants and the...
