School Days – the start of year 1
The new school year has started for most people, and N’s done his first week back going into Year 1. He had a really good reception year, the main achievement being that he enjoyed it. When asked N does say…
Family life
Everything family oriented on bubbablue and me, parenting, milestones, children, growing up
Hopes for the new school year
Typically I never got round to doing N’s foundation stage round up at the end of the school year. Going camping straight away after they broke up for summer didn’t leave anytime for blog posts. But the school year has…

Get school shoes ready with Brantano
I’m really hoping I’ve got everything ready for school now. Compared with last year when everything was new and needed buying, I’m fairly relaxed this time. I’ve got 1 new polo shirt and 1 new jumper to replace old scrappy…
Canal walks and chasing the combine harvester

A child led evening of learning
Sometimes N really surprises me. But I’m glad he does. I’m always saying how I wish he’d be more eager to do his reading and to do some writing other than when teachers encourage him. I’m hoping Year 1 will…
School days – last week of Foundation stage
N’s school year finished a week ago, but due to our camping trip, I’m behind in writing up that final week’s school days post. The most important one of the year…although I’m planning to do an overview of the year…
Kiss the girls – pretty ones only
It’s started. N’s 5 years old and he’s already kissed a girl. I was surprised to say the least, but then I remember back to my first school days and a 5 year old called Brian who kissed me during…
School Days – parents evening and fun day
I’m going to be sad from this time next week, because it’ll be a temporary half to my School Days posts over the summer holidays. But it’ll be back from September, ready for all those writing about their new school…
