Shazam

General 

Elliott was really good today. He did get a bit upset before we went home as he wanted to look in Smyths Toy Superstore but he accepted there wasn't time today quite quickly and then got over his sulkiness quickly.

Activities

In the morning, after breakfast, Elliott did some quick Clarinet practice. Then we headed to Wilton House gardens to meet up with Matt, Harry and Bertie Higgins with Andrea and Granny. The boys had a lot of fun running around playing together in the adventure playground there:

While we were there we had chicken sandwiches, cheese sandwiches and yoghurt raisins for lunch.

After lunch we went to Salisbury City Centre and went to see Shazam at the cinema. Everyone enjoyed the film:

After the cinema we went home but Elliott was a bit upset not to have time to go to Smyths Toy Superstore before going home. After we got home Elliott had chicken nuggets, chips and peas for tea. After tea he did some more Clarinet practice with Grandpa and worked hard at higher notes. Then he had his bath, brushed his teeth and got ready for bed. After his bath he played Fortnite on the iPad for about half an hour and then he read more of "Cogheart" before going to sleep.

Hockey training

General 

Elliott was good today. 

Activities

In the morning Elliott had extra hockey training with the Under 12 As. I thought he had some really good moments but also at times looked a little disconnected. We had a chat afterwards and he said that he had been quite nervous about not wanting to make a mistake and be moaned at so was hanging back sometimes because of that. So we talked about how when people play sport they sometimes react in the moment and say things that aren't as encouraging as they could be when someone makes a mistake but to try and learn to disregard that. He was concerned because one of the players had made a joke out of Ethan missing his shot last week. We also talked a little bit about how to look really engaged all the time when Dave is coaching and maybe swing his stick a little less. Overall though I think training at the step up was a positive experience and hopefully will be advantageous for next year. It is hard trying to explain to him that some personalities when they play sport mean people are critical to their own player when he really isn't like that. After hockey we went home and he had a bath before packing for the journey to Granny and Grandpa's house and then some toast for lunch. 

After lunch we travelled down to Downton to see Granny and Grandpa. After we arrived he showed Granny his owl and then we had Roast Chicken for tea. He also had some broccoli and some yoghurt covered raisins for pudding. After tea he watched some Transformers toy reviews on the iPad before getting ready for bed and brushing his teeth. Finally he read more of "Cogheart" and then went to sleep.

Bracknell Bees

General 

Elliott was very good today. 

Activities

We had a lazy morning today. Elliott played Fortnite, made some videos and played with his Transformers. He did also do some homework tests and he did some spelling practice on the laptop using Spelling Shed. We had some toast for lunch.

After lunch Elliott tidied his bedroom and watched some Transformers animations. Then we went to watch the Bracknell Bees play the Peterborough Phantoms in the Ice Hockey play off final. This was good fun and the game finished 7-4 to the Phantoms thought both sides are only playing off to see who'll they'll play in the semi finals at Coventry. We also bumped in to Mr Maker while we were there and had a chat. He had a hot dog with curly fries for tea while we watched the Ice Hockey. After the Ice Hockey we went straight home and then he cleaned his teeth and got ready for bed without a bath as it was getting late. He read more of "Cogheart"  before going to sleep.

Easter Egg Hunt

General 

Elliott was good after school today and pleased to break up for the Easter holiday.

Activities

After school we met for the Hawkedon Parent's Association Easter Egg Hunt as I was helping with it. In the end it was worth it as Elliott managed to get 2 Easter Eggs. Then we drove home and Elliott used the laptop to do Spelling Shed work. Then he played with his Transformers and watched Transformer toy reviews on You Tube before having toast for tea. After tea he had his bath, brushed his teeth, got ready for bed. Before going to sleep he read some more of his "Cogheart" school book before going to sleep.

Cogheart

General 

Elliott was really good after school today.

Activities

There was no Hockey Club today and Elliott has now completed Stage 6 swimming so we're finishing official swimming lessons. So after school we had some time on our hands and visited Smyth's Toy Superstore where he bought a new Bumblebee Transformer with some of his brithday money. After we got home he watched some Transformers reviews on the iPad before having toast for tea. After tea he had a bath, got ready for bed and bruhsed his teeth. Then he read some more of his "Cogheart" school book before going to sleep.
