    ds1 took some eggs that he made into chicks for the school comp. Well i felt quite bad for our poor effort as you should have seen some of the mega creations people had made. At least i can say Ds did all of it where's there is no way most of the 4 year olds did those things. We haven't had time what with H being so ill so i think he did really well and wwill print him off a cert on the comp.

    I thought he did a brill job but then i am bias. He put the eggs and colour tabs in warm water to make the eggs change colour put google eyes on, pipe cleaners on for feet, feathers and piece of triangle card for a beak. The only thing i did was cut the beak out and of course boiled the egg.
    And the winner was the teachers pet.
    My mum still (like 25 years later) talks about the decorated egg competition from when I was in Reception. She got me to do a rocket (painted egg in the end of a painted kitchen roll inside) and it was all my own work. Then when we took it into school, most of the others were better than she could have done. To me it's totally missing the point if you do it for the child and the child is losing more (even if they "win") than the child who has no chance because he did it himself. Even when I was in Y6 the "winners" in Reception had done eggs better than mine. I would never ever have won anyway (and I knew I wouldn't) but I still preferred the ones where we decorated at school because at least that way you knew it was fair.

    I asked her if he could have the school pet this week as his bday is coming up but i bet he doesn't get it. It's not a real life pet btw it's a teddy but you have to write a diary and take it places and take photos of you with him and put them in the diary.
    Assuming it's a class thing then he should get it at least once in the year as there will be more weeks than there are children in the class and she should be keeping track to make sure everyone gets a turn - it's partly educational as well as obviously being nice for the children. They probably wouldn't do it on birthday weeks though (or at least not deliberately) as there would be some weeks with more than one child.

    Only popped a page back and saw becles posted, so everything must be ok?!?

    Not really, but I'd rather not talk about it on here as you never know who might be reading.
    Kids are so gross, ewwwwww.

    I have Ellie staying over tonight, and she went for a poo, and it wouldn't flush and apparently that's really funny to Keira and her, and there was great amusement and laughing going on because this bit of poo wouldn't flush away _pale_

    Keira just ran through and was like "OMG I DID IT FLUSHED AWAY CAUSE I DID IT REAL REALY HARD MUMMY COME SEE!!!!"

    EWWWWWWWWWWWW NO:eek:

    Charlotte is obsessed with giggling about poo, wee, bums, snot and other gross stuff. She heard a song on CBeebies that goes Twinkle, Twinkle, look up high, but don't get bird poo in your eye. She thinks that is hilarious. I've not seen it on TV and didn't believe her, but my Mam said they did sing that!

    That's awful, but pleased he is ok. Have the Police caught them?

    Got a James-ism today. He said they had been learning about Abba at school and then started babbling on about religion and I was puzzled until I realised he meant Allah not Abba :D
    Here I go again on my own....

    He's made a report, the ones that did it looked about 16 but knew what they were doing so have done it before. Hope they catch the !!!!ers.

    Becles, remember PM's can be deleted after you send them.
