This week is SATs week for Year 6 and Sophie has been going in to school a little earlier each morning as her school are providing breakfast for the children in her year before their SATs papers. She’s been quite calm about it all and has come away feeling that they’ve gone well which is good.
What I’ve been grateful for this week:
- Day 129 – I am grateful for all the lovely birthday cards, gifts and messages I’ve had today.
- Day 130 – I am grateful for a lovely meal and afternoon at the theatre with my husband.
- Day 131 – I am grateful for a lovely evening out in the garden enjoying the first barbecue of the year.
- Day 132 – I am grateful that the roses are starting to bloom in the garden.
- Day 133 – I am grateful for a day working in the office while there was electrical work going on in the house.
- Day 134 – I am grateful for beautiful memories captured in photos and videos. This photo from eight years ago is one of my favourites. We’d been doing some home learning with Jessica finding out what things floated and which sank, which ended up with tuff tray being filled with water and used as an impromptu paddling pool (complete with slide!). The girls got thoroughly soaked and had the best time doing so. I love the joy on Jessica’s face in this photo as she splashes away. Another one of those moments that I wish I could step back into and relive.
- Day 135 – I am grateful for time to bake.
Other things that have made me smile this week:
- Having a birthday breakfast date with my husband.
- The pom-pom teddy that Sophie made at Girls’ Brigade.
- Thomas announcing that Monday was “Colorballs Day” and wishing me a “Happy Colorballs Day, Mummy!”
- Sophie getting a Brainiac award at school.

Good luck to Sophie with her SATS results. Jake had them this week too, he’s been so laid back about the whole thing, but I think in part that’s thanks to his school, who make the kids feel positive and relaxed about the tests.
Happy belated birthday, it sounds like you had a lovely day, colourballs day made me giggle.
I love the photo of Jessica and Sophie, they look so happy splashing around.
Have a lovely weekend.
Happy belated birthday! The breakfast and theatre sound like a perfect way to celebrate. I love the photo of Sophie and Jessica. Jessica had the best smile. Fancy Monday being Colorballs day. I never knew! I hope Sophie found SATS a good experience and the results are good. I can’t remember if they get the results. Hope you are having a lovely weekend.
My girls loved SATS week for the breakfast. hehehe Well done to Sophie, it’s good that she was calm about it, it can be a worry.
What a lovely week and photos! x
There is something to special about getting outside after winter, right? You feel a little more alive!
Belated happy birthday and happy colour balls day to you Glad Sophie is doing well with her SATS. The breakfast looks delicious
I love that they provide breakfast for the kids taking SATs – they did for mine and it seemed to take the pressure off and it felt like a treat. Love the pom pom teddy
Belated happy birthday! A breakfast date and going to the theatre sounds really lovely.
It’s great that she is so relaxed about the SATs. Well done.
Well Happy belated colourballs day and birthday.
Love the photo of Sophie and Jessica. I find photos both comforting and upsetting as I too want to relive the moment.
I hope Sophie did well in her sats.
