Went to see Pops new room yesterday, it's fab! Beautiful day bed, lovely lilac walls, elephants everywhere. Not real ones obviously, pictures, cushions, curtains with elephants on, bedding with elephants on! Safe to say she's gone mad on elephants!
Poppy has lots of homework on Friday, consequence of going up into year four and getting older I suppose, though a shame to get so much homework at the age of eight. Surely at eight children should still be able to enjoy free time and play with toys or friends, or both obviously! Plenty time for homework once they hit eleven, and then they become too pressured, pushed to do well. Schools under pressure by the government, policies, targets, Ofsted in turn out kids under pressure, too much pressure. What possible need is there for sats? Never had sats in my day far as I know!
And then there is the floss. For those unaware it's a dance, one i cannot master however hard i try, my hips, arms and legs just won't move correctly no matter how I try! Kids are brilliant at it though, Poppy is great at the floss. Floss is great at the floss. Confused? Don't be, Floss is not only a dance, it's the name of a cousin of Poppy, short for Florence.
