The Sladens

General 

Elliott was good today, apart from at lunchtime when he was quite stubborn about eating broccoli with his roast. However in the end he did eat his broccoli, just in a different room for some reason (I think it might have been a way to eat it without thinking he'd lost face?)

Activities

In the morning we painted his Dangermouse car (we're still making) with it's first coat of yellow paint and he played with his Star Wars toys, his army soldier toys, his car loop the loop and he had a go at playing the piano. He also watched some Arthur and did his second lot of Maths sums for homework. We had roast lamb for lunch and he ate everything on his plate including, eventually, a good quantity of broccoli.

After lunch he completed his final time of doing the Maths sums for homework and then we visited the Sladens on our way home. Elliott had a lot of fun playing with Charlie. Charlie also introduced him to a new Lego stop motion animation app that he is now keen to use to make an animated film with. Alice was also there and joined in and Poppy came and said hello after getting back from shopping. When we got home after leaving the Sladens we had ham sandwiches and raisins for tea and then he had his bath. After his bath we researched Roman shields for his home learning and he wrote down some facts (and about Viking shields) and then he read some of his school book "Charge" (about Roman soldiers - he said he'd picked it specially) before bed time.
