"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...

"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...

Me And My Dad: Video Games

Me And My Dad:   1: Video Games   Growing up my Dad and I had a great relationship. I don't have any vivid memories of him shouting at me or us fighting over trivial things (although I am sure they did happen). Looking back over my memories of growing up with my Dad I can totally see where my love for movies, video games, horror, reading, quizzing and cooking came from. For my next few posts I am going to delve in to each of these a little further...starting with Video Games!   I am now 36...my Dad is 64. Two days ago he sent me a WhatsApp message with a link to a video on YouTube for a recent video game called "Thimbleweed Park". He wrote:   "Have you seen this? It is done by some of the guys who did Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion. It look's great"   Reading that made so many good memories float back from the late 80s/early 90s when my Dad and I were obsessed with Point and Click Adventure Games on the PC. I was really lucky to have a...

Me And My Dad: Reading

Me and My Dad: 3: Reading My Dad is an avid reader! He always has at least one book on the go but more often than not he will have about ten! He buys books, he borrows books off friends, he borrows them from the library, he downloads them on his Kindle...he will read a book in any format. Naturally because of that, I too am an avid reader (although these days I don't read as much as I used to). I love to get myself lost in a good story and I don't particularly have a genre that I prefer. I like a good thriller, a scary horror, a mystery, an adventure, fantasy and even the occasional piece of "chick-lit" (I like Sophie Kinsella books...she is pretty funny). These are five books that I associate with my Dad, all for different reasons. 1: Well Done Noddy by Enid Blyton My brother was a big fan of the "Noddy" books so we had lots in the house growing up. As I was younger than him, they were passed down to me. My Dad would often read me ...
