Rachel, Owen and Kathryn

Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to his allotment. Why did the donkey chop its leg off? So it could go to the hopping centre. Looks like we're in for a merry half-term holiday.

The first wobbly tooth has popped out. Since it was also the first one to emerge when she was just a baby, I feel rather wobbly about it myself!

Well I declare! Katy has amazed us all with her early grasp of orthography - although her spelling is still in the early stages. Given a piece of paper by her teacher headed "My news" she wrote I we[n]t to my Dad's f[ri]e[n]d's party . I think I explained in simple terms how the apostrophe works a while ago, and she's just remembered and applied it. I didn't actually use this phrase but it wouldn't now surprise me if she came out with "This is a typical example of the Anglo-Saxon genitive"!
