"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: 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 ...

A Dad Review: Blackpool Zoo

BLACKPOOL ZOO   We have visited Blackpool several times over the past few years with the twins. We mainly visit as Kate's Aunty and her wife live there and it is nice to visit them and for them to see the twins (and us, I guess). Usually we do the "typical Blackpool stuff" like going along the prom, taking in a couple of fairground rides, a donkey ride, some ice cream etc... and we have been up Blackpool Tower. This summer when we visited we decided to visit the zoo for two reasons:   1) We have never been 2) The twins love a zoo   So that is what we did. We drove to Blackpool and met up with one of Kate's Aunties (the other was at work...we had dinner with her later on) and we hit the zoo...here is what we thought...     Blackpool Zoo is way bigger than we anticipated...there is loads to do and there are loads of animals to see. Like most zoos it is broken down in to sections: Waders...

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 ...
