We’ve had various exciting things happening this week with various summer term activities at school, transition days and show performances and rehearsals.
Sophie had a busy, but fun weekend – taking part in a sponsored walk in aid of Halo Children’s Foundation, enjoying a lovely playdate with one of her new friends from her dance school and taking part in the BYT group 1 show, Dexter and Winter’s Detective Agency.
Sophie and Thomas are both moving up to new schools in September and had their transition sessions this week. Sophie thoroughly enjoyed her day at secondary school and came home having made a couple of new friends. Thomas had a lovely afternoon at junior school.
Sophie had her last ever primary school sports day and did well, coming second in two of her races and third in the other. She’s been enjoying rehearsals for her Year 6 production and helping to make props and is excited about performing this next week.
Thomas was excited about going to London Zoo on a school trip this week and I enjoyed being able to go along with him as a parent helper.
I had auditions for Calendar Girls: The Musical on Monday and am thrilled that I’ve been cast as Annie. We started rehearsals on Wednesday and I’m really excited about being part of this show.
We’ve also booked our summer trip to Luxembourg and a day out at Disneyland Paris so that’s exciting too.
What I’ve been grateful for this week:
- Day 178 – I am for getting to watch Sophie take part in her last primary school sports day.
- Day 179 – I am grateful to everyone who sponsored Sophie for her 5k walk and helped her raise £185 for Halo Children’s Foundation. Thank you all so much. She enjoyed taking part and Thomas had fun joining in too.
- Day 180 – I am grateful that Thomas had a really good swimming lesson and got his Duckling 2 badge and certificate.
- Day 181 – I am grateful for slightly cooler night air.
- Day 182 – I am grateful that Sophie and Thomas both enjoyed their transition days in their new schools.
- Day 183 – I am grateful for the start of rehearsals for Calendar Girls and for having been cast as Annie.
- Day 184 – I am grateful for a lovely day out at London Zoo.
Other things that have made me smile this week:
- Sitting in the sunshine and having some quiet time with Jessica.
- Going into the office instead of working from home at the start of the week as it was much cooler there (and nice to see my colleagues too).

Congratulations on getting a part in Calendar Girls. I’m sure you’ll have lots of fun. I’m glad Sophie and Thomas’s transition days went well. Lots of last-times coming up for you with Sophie going to secondary. Well done on sports day and hope she enjoys her rehearsals. Hope you and Thomas both enjoyed your London Zoo trip.
Congratulations on getting the part of Annie. I love the movie Calendar Girls; it’s so much fun, and I’m sure you will be amazing in it.
It’s good that the children enjoyed their transition days, Jake enjoyed his and is preparing for the leavers’ performance the same like Sophie now. It’s going to be an emotional few weeks.
Jessica’s pink roses are looking beautiful.
Well done on getting the part. I’m the same – it’s nice to be in the office with air con. Nice that both Sophie and Thomas enjoyed their transition days. It’s always a key time for their ages.
Well done on being cast as Annie. And how exciting for the kids to be moving on up. Lots of positive things happening this week.
It has been an exciting week for you all!
How wonderful that Sophie took part in the sponsored walk and it sounds like she has a lot of fun things going on.
I am glad the transition days went well and it must be such an emotional time with all the lasts for Sophie at primary school. What fun for you and Thomas to go to the zoo and good luck with the new show! x
It sounds like a good week, I used to love this time of year when my kids were little and going on school trips was the best. Congratulations on getting the part of Annie, how exciting. I hope the next couple of weeks are just as exciting.
I hope Sophie’s move to secondary school goes smoothly for her. I’m sure it’ll be an emotional time for you with her leaving Primary school. Glad you had time to spend with Jessica. x
Lots of lovely things to be excited about!
Well done to Sophie on her sponsored walk. What a thoughtful thing to do.
Yay! Congratulations on getting the role as Annie. Hope we get to see some clips.
I’m glad that both Thomas and Sophie enjoyed their transition sessions at their new schools, and also that you got to spend some time with Jessica. Sending love and hugs. xx
