General
Elliott was good today after school and said he'd had a good at school part from being tripped up accidentally by Charlie at play time. He had a burger in a bun for lunch.
Activities
After school we went home, got changed and then went to cycle club which he enjoyed lots. After cycle club he had some toast for tea while watching "Officially Amazing" and then after his bath he did some really good reading with a longer Octonauts book with some more difficult and longer words. I also read him more of "The Faraway Tree" before bed time.

Planting cress
General
Elliott was pretty good today. He had a few silly moments during football and by the end of the day he was a bit restless but he didn't get into a bad place or really wound up at all during the day.
Activities
In the morning we went to football. He did really well mostly but was a bit silly at different points. I think sometimes the training exercises go on a bit long for him and mean by the time he gets to the game he's a bit restless. He did score a good goal when he was an attacker though and after not wanting to listen to Fabio and Bertie at the end he did eventually sit down and then after played some one on one with Adam during which he did really well. He did accidentally give Adam a dead leg but said sorry and Adam had made some contact with him at different points while they were playing together. After football we dropped by a new ark he wanted to show me near school and we had fun playing there including doing some frisbee and football.
After lunch we went to a garden centre with Andrea where we bought some new plants for the balcony and a packet of cress seeds. When we got home Elliott helped us pot the new plants and also planted the cress seeds in the birthday present plant pot he painted a while ago:
After the planting he did some playing with Lego before we did most of his homework for this week - reading a non school book and then writing about what he did and didn't like about it. He chose "How to be a Jedi" to read and wrote about liking how Luke was strong enough to do a handstand with one arm and hold Yoda up with his feet. We haven't done what he didn't like yet because he couldn't think of anything he didn't like about the book. After homework we had Roast Chicken for tea before bath and bed. Before going to sleep I read him some more "Faraway Tree" after he asked for it now "Fantastic Mr Fox" is finished. He did also ask if there was sequel to "Fantastic Mr Fox" so I said there wasn't but maybe one day he could write one.

Harry Smith's birthday party
General
Elliott was very good today. He did get upset at Harry Smith's birthday party as after climbing on the climbing wall higher than his own height he then looked down, got scared and froze. After the instructor had got him down he was quite upset for about 5 minutes so I gave him lots of cuddles and we went outside to get away from the climbing and find some distractions. This worked and when we went back he joined everyone else again and happily did a different exercise climbing sideways rather than up.
Activities
In the morning we went to Farley Hill primary school's fete - this is Harry Jenkins' primary school. We went with Andrea's parents and her brother and their family. We watched a display by the cheerleader after school club and then we heard the choir sing. Harry Jenkins in the choir so he was singing and they sung two songs which were good. After the singing we looked around the fete and Elliott went in a fire engine, won a bubble blower in a lucky dip, scored 2 out 3 goals on the penalty store and won a big balloon and temporary tattoo and had a burger for lunch. There was a riding school there with two ponies so he had a go riding a pony while Harry Jenkins rode the other pony and he enjoyed the little walk around. He also enjoyed watching Jack have a go riding on a pony afterwards:
After we got home we wrapped up Harry Smith's birthday present and wrote his card and then headed off to his party at the Reading Climbing Centre. Unfortunately we got lost on our way, and delayed by some bad traffic caused by an accident so we were half an hour late arriving. However he soon got kitted out and had a go at climbing. As stated above he got quite scared during his first climb but it didn't seem to dampen his spirits too much and he did really well having another go on the sideways focused exercise. I also told him he was really brave giving it a go and had done really well if he was scared:
After the climbing they all had a pizza tea, some crisps and Harry's Mum had made a chocolate fudge birthday cake. Adam, Charlie, Josh and Isaac were all there as well as Harry and his brothers and some other boys and Elliott had lots of fun. After we got home there was just time for bath, the end of "Fantastic Mr Fox" and a bit of iPad before bed time.

Space guns
General
Elliott had a good day. Adam's Mum was in school helping out during the morning and said that Elliott did well writing a story and in maths while she was there. She said he sat at his desk twice for short periods but was well behaved and calm. He had fish and chips for lunch and after school he was very good.
Activities
After school we went to Asda to buy Harry Smith's birthday present and card. We got two space guns that make noises and light up when fired, one for Harry and one with Elliott's pocket money and a Transformer's card for Harry's birthday. After we got home he did a quick bit of cycling before a snack and bath time. Before bed I read more "Fantastic Mr Fox" to him and he read "I am Batman" himself.

England's football men
General
Elliott was really good after school today. He also had a good job sticker on for his really good colouring in of Yoda.
Activities
He enjoyed his swimming lesson and then we went home to watch England's football men. Unfortunately neither of us were very interested so we watched "Officially Amazing" instead. Before bed we had a look at his "Underwater" book he's made at school and he read to me from it about Puffer Fish. Then I read him some more "Fantastic Mr Fox".
