Sparkly Trainers

These shoes are new shoes which my sister Boo Jam and me got given for Christmas from our family. We really love them because firstly, they are so sparkly! They have amazing jewels on them which glisten in the sun. They are also made in our favourite colours - pink and purple and a little bit of blue and white. Mine have laces and my sisters have velcro on them because she is still learning laces. We have been waiting for some nice weather to wear them and this week we finally got to wear them.

The best thing about our trainers are that when you jump in them they light up which is so awesome!

We absolutely love them!

Cool School Uniform

Here I am today dressing up in an old School Uniform at the Roald Dahl Museum.

I would love to wear a school uniform like this with a blazer and a hat. One day I would love to go to a school where you have to wear a hat every day because I think it looks really cool. I also want to get to play lacrosse because I have been reading a lot of Malory Towers and that is what Darrell and her friends in Malory Towers wear.

At school we go to another school for swimming every week and the children there play Lacrosse and they also get to stay at the school because it is a Boarding School. I really want to go there!!!!

Snow!

Today it is snowing and it is very exciting because I get to play in the snow at Trestle in St Albans. If it snows a lot I  hope I can build a snowman!

Our Christmas Elf on the Shelf

This year our Elves Holly Star and Angel Snow Flake have come to visit us again. They come from Santa to check that we are being good girls. While they have been here, they have been a little bit cheeky because they have been getting up to some tricks. We have found them brushing their teeth, having a bath, and also with their heads in the chocolate box - they are so cheeky!

We love our elves. Holly Star is mine and she is my favourite. On Christmas Eve they will go back to Santa.

My holiday - Atlantica Princess Rhodes

I know it's almost Christmas, but I am still excited when I remember my summer holiday. In the summer holidays I went to Greece and it was very very very very hot. We stayed at Atlantica Princess Hotel In Rhodes and there was a super cool swimming pool with a awesome water slide.Everyday at night time there was a kids disco and here are some of the songs. I loved to dance with my sister every night at the kids disco. 

I put these songs on this post because they are some of my favourite ones.Also at night there was always a theme at dinner. Some of them were Mexican, Greek, Chinese, Gala andIitalian. One of the days we went to the grand palace of the knights. We also went on a boat called a submarine where we actually went under the sea! We also went to the valley of the butterflies. Here are some pictures of me and boojam on our holiday. I would definitely say that Rhodes is a fun place to visit.

When we went to the swimming me and mummy did water aerobics. Me and boojam went to a kids club and when we played musical corners this is one of the songs that we danced to.

I loved my holiday in Rhodes. I can't wait for next summer!

  

The Magic Box

At school I have been learning about Poetry, including "The Magic Box" by Kit Wright. You can read his poem here. I wrote a poem about my own Magic Box and what would go in it. Here it is, I hope you like it.

The Magic Box

I will put in the box

Nice dreams bursting and flowing with happiness,

Secret memories that only I know about

And all the love of the world.

I will put in the box

The sound of fire birds chirping,

A magic stone that transports you to another land.

And tears of sadness from a miserable, poor country.

I will put in the box

Calmness from the calmest person I know,

The smell of the sweetest rose perfume that mums use,

And the sound of the harmless, gentle rain.

I will put in the box

God the father, the son and the holy spirit,

Candyfloss trees and a bright blue river with a chocolate one next to it.

I will love my box forever.
