The beautiful, funny & unsightly truths about raising 3 year old twins & an 8 year old singleton… with one on the way!
Many of the local primary schools (both public and private) send their best cross country runners to compete in a cross country race, four times a year and the course alternates between three of the private schools. Bunny has represented her school in cross country four times now and one of the inter school races […]
World Book Day 2018 was actually on Thursday 1st March 2018, but due to Storm Emma giving half the country a few snow days, our school postponed it to today. I unfortunately have lacked in spare time and creativity lately, so instead of whipping up a homemade masterpiece, we bought costumes for the girls. […]
At school, the twins have been learning about fairytales, with a particular focus on The Gingerbread Man. In the last week of term, they celebrated all they’d been learning, with a “Gingerbread Party”. We received handwritten invitations from the twins and they were excited about it all week. When we arrived at the gingerbread party, […]
Bunny is now in Year 6 at school, which means that the time has come to choose a secondary school. Bunny’s first choice of school, is a Grammar school, where two of her friends go. However, we were told to go online on July 1st to book her in for the Grammar test, only to […]
I started writing this blog when I was 30 weeks pregnant with my twins. My beautiful girls are now starting PRIMARY SCHOOL! I cannot believe my little prem babies are four years old and at SCHOOL. Where has the time gone? How did they get so grown up? They started part time three weeks ago and […]
I can’t believe that I have a child in year 4 at school! I’m too young to have a child in year 4… I can REMEMBER being in year 4 myself! Today, Bunny started year 4, very very excitedly. Her twin sisters cried when we left her in the school playground, because they’ve loved having […]
Bunny recently moved schools and the difference in her is remarkable. She’s not as tired, because she’s not spending a large chunk of her day stuck in traffic. She’s also getting to school on time, because of this (most of the time). The money we would have spent on petrol for the school run, […]
Bunny recently moved schools and her new school teach Mandarin instead of French, claiming it is “the language of the future”. I have to admit I was quite impressed with this. I know nothing of Mandarin and my Primary school didn’t do languages at all. How cool would it be for my daughter to know […]
I started writing this post, two years ago! Then I thought, no, I’m being harsh. Two years on though, I still feel the same. I am actually growing to loathe my daughter’s school. You may have seen my recent post about whether or not to change my daughter to a new school, since moving house. […]
Bunny has just finished year two of primary school and as per school tradition, sports day came near to the end of term. We are not a particularly sporty family. Wait, what am I saying? We do NO SPORT AT ALL! I played rugby back in my school days, until I broke my left wrist […]
