Oliver and Liam are nearly 6 now and in Year 1 at Northleaze Primary School (see the website: http://www.northleaze.n-somerset.sch.uk/Index.htm). Their teacher is Miss Taylor and there are 30 in the class. They are learning to read using phonics and books about Chip, Kipper and Floppy. Both enjoy reading very much and are reading by themselves with some guidance from Mum & Dad on difficult words.

Each Wednesday they have spelling tests. They are also learning to do simple mathematics, adding and subtracting.
Here's a photo of Oliver showing his whiteboard where he wrote all numbers from 1 to 100.

Liam shows a picture of a rocket that he made.


We're getting ready for their birthday in November. It will be at the local village hall and they have invited the whole class ! Mum & Dad will do some games and activities for an hour or so before they stop for food and drinks. Then it's the Pinata ! It's 2 hours of fun and chaos with their friends. Last year went well, so we hope for success this year.

On Mondays they have multisports activities at our local gym, David Lloyds (http://www.davidlloydleisure.co.uk/clubzone/Bristol). Dad normally takes them and has a workout while they run around with the High 5 club.

Other activities they do include Tennis at after school club on Thursdays and Art Attack with the High 5 club at the gym on Wednesdays.

Their other interests are Stagecoach on Saturday mornings (http://www.stagecoach.co.uk/stagecoach/html/country.php?cid=1) where they learn to sing, dance and act a little. Their favourite activity is dancing.



Oliver recently tried horseriding for the first time and loved it very much. He's been back a few times already and wants to keep going there. It's half an hour at the moment, as he learns the basics. Liam is not really interested in horse riding, preferring to watch Oliver.

Hi,


We are starting a Blog for Liam and Oliver to record special events and communicate to our friends and relatives around the world.


It will be updated regularly with news and photos.


Hope you enjoy it.


This will be instead of the webpage (http://www.pabbruwe.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/) which is still active but hasn;t been updated for a while now.

The blog is interactive, so you can post comments, birthday wishes etc... if you want.
