McDonalds

General 

Elliott was good after school today although he did get a bit upset during football training because someone said he was stinky in goal, and then he hit his head on the goal post.

Activities

After athletics we went to McDonalds for tea as a special treat and he had a chicken mcnuggets happy meal. Then we headed to Goals for football training where they split the boys in to 4 mixed teams for a tournament. Elliott played in goal for 2 of the games and out on the pitch as well where he played left wing and did really well (and was up against Adam Hughes in one game). Unfortunately after he let in a goal at one stage one of his team mates called told him he was stinky in goal which upset him and right at the end he hit his head against the post. He did well though and seemed less concerned about the ball hitting him. After we got home he had a quick bath and then read some more of his Minecraft book before bed time.

Ninja Warrior UK

General 

Elliott was really good today.  

Activities

We all had a lazy morning and Elliott watched Thunderbirds and played Thunderbirds, as well as playing some Minecraft and with lot of his character toys. Just before lunchtime Elliott did his homework, which was completing sentences, with no fuss or problems. We had pasta with bacon sauce for lunch.

After lunch we watched "Ninja Warrior UK" before he cycled to Andrea's Mum and Dad's where he cycled around their garden and also did some sprinting time trials. After we got home we had honey sandwiches for tea before bath time. After his bath he read more of his Minecraft book again to himself and talked about VE Day and World War 2 for his home learning using the BBC website to help us.

Bikeability

General 

Elliott was very good today particularly as I was busy for a lot of it with the election count.  

Activities

After arriving at the election count Elliott went up to the balcony to watch all the counting going on in the hall with Granny. After a while he went to ASDA with Granny where he looked at toys before I met up with him and Granny to transfer the bike to Granny's car so they could go to the Bikeability session at Hawkedon. Charlie was also at Bikeability and it sounds like he had a lot of fun riding his bike around the field and trying pedal powered go carts with Charlie.

After Bikeability I met him and Granny in ASDA café and we headed to Pizza Express with Andrea for tea where Elliott had his classic dough balls, burro pasta and chocolate brownie meal. After Pizza Express we headed home for bath time and after his bath he read his Minecraft book before going to sleep.

V-E Day

General 

Elliott was very good after school. He had fish and chips for lunch and an ice cream cone without the ice cream.

Activities

After school Elliott told me lots about his day in the car. Because it was V-E Day they had done some code breaking exercises, made a Union Jack flag and they'd had a minute's silence in the playground. He also came out of school with a cake and some decorated biscuits he'd made (he scoffed a biscuit and the cake and we gave the other biscuit to Andrea). After we got home we watched Thunderbirds and then played Thunderbirds with some of his toys. He had cheese on toast for tea and after tea he had a bath. He read some of his school book "Spaceship Graveyard" to himself before we played more Thunderbirds and he watched some Minecraft videos on the iPad.

Nocturnal animals

General 

Elliott was really good after school.   

Activities

It was straight to swimming after school and we got changed in the men's room again where Elliott had a shower after swimming again. His lesson went well. After we got home Elliott played Thunderbirds with some rocket toys before ham and cheese on toast for tea. After tea he played Minecraft for a bit, before we talked about nocturnal animals and filled in his school sheet about ages. Finally he read his school book "Ghost Train" in bed before it was time to sleep.
