Elliott was very good again today and did his homework in the morning at the time he agreed without any fuss.
Activities
We had a lazy breakfast watching television and playing with his Minecraft Lego. Then he did his homework which was filling in adjectives in sentances. He did this really well and his hand writing was really good. We went over the words he used and although a few weren't quite right he did really well considering I gave him no help at all. Then we had sausage and mash for lunch.
After lunch he cycled and we walked to The Ship in town where we watched some of the football. After the football he cycled and we walked back and then when we got back he did some more cycling around the block with me. After cycling we watched some Minecraft TV on You Tube before getting ready to do another toy review, this time of his Minecraft Lego Farm. We used the same script as yesterday and his demonstration of features was really good and confident especially as we hadn't even had a practice go:
After the toy review it was time for his bath. Then after his birth we did his home learning which was to write a poem using "Kennings" lines - which are metaphors that end in "er" (e.g. "Mum scarer" for spider and "Crime fighter" for Batman). He wrote a poem about a spider and I wrote one about Batman. After our poem writing he read his school book "The Crystal Planet" and then it was time for bed.

Elliott was really good today. He got ready for football really quickly and said he was looking forward to playing which was great following the last few weeks.
Activities
After breakfast and before football we made Elliott's new Lego Minecraft farm that Graham Lannoy had sent him for his birthday. Then it was off to football. He said he really enjoyed football today and it was brilliant to see him getting really stuck in. He was also very pleased with his trophy. After football he played some Minecraft on my phone and then we had chicken fajitas for lunch which he eat all of with no problems (although he had plain chicken).
After lunch we watched an episode of Junior Bake Off and then we popped in to town for some shopping. He was really good while we were shopping and after we got home we watched the rugby together - he was half watching and asking questions about the game but also watching Mario Borthers on the iPad during the game. During the rugby we also wrote a script together for a toy review of his new Iron Spider toy and he helped write his parts and did some really good hand writing. Then he had toast and honey for tea and Andrea filmed the toy review which went very well:
After the toy review it was time for a bath and then we took it in turns to read a chapter of his Jack Stalwart Australian adventure book. Finally we watched some Ant and Dec and he played some Minecraft before bed time.

Elliott was really good after school today.
Activities
After school we went to ASDA for tea and Elliott had a ham sandwich, some raisins and a cake. After tea we went to Loddon Valley Leisure Centre and met up with Andrea and he watched me play in a work team bonding Netball game (boys against girls) which was good fun. After we got home it was bath time followed by reading his Transformers annual and then bed time.
General
Elliott was mainly good after school today. He did get a bit disappointed about not playing Minecraft after bath time, even though we'd previously discussed and agreed this, but fortunately it didn't take him long to move on and read his book.
Activities
After school he went to swimming lessons and Andrea came to watch today as well. He did well and particularly enjoyed jumping in to the pool which they had to do as an exercise. After swimming we dropped in to Tescos for some quick shopping and he was really good. After we got home he played some Minecraft and watched some Officially Amazing 3 before having toast with honey for tea. After tea it was bath time and then after his bath he read some of his new Jack Stalwart book "The search for the sunken treasure: Australia" before reading his school book "One Step Ahead" in bed to himself and then night time.

Elliott was good after school today.
Activities
After picking him up we went straight to the disco and he had lots of fun and showed off his street dance moves a lot. After the disco he had a bath and went to bed nicely. He was quite tired after the dancing I think.
