These pictures say it all: wellies, muddy puddles, snails, splashing, jumping… and a Gelli Baff with my sister before bed.
Hope you’re all having a great weekend.
Yesterday I had my very first time at Beavers. It was very good even though I got stung by a stinging nettle!
Beavers is a boy club that you can go to. They do different activities every week like nature trails, barbecues, camping and completing lots of challenges to earn different badges for the uniform – I don’t have my uniform yet but I’m going to get it soon. Lots of my friends go to Beavers so I am very excited to have finally joined Beavers. There are three boy clubs: Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.
The leader is Badger. I think he is very funny and awesome. There are other grown-up helpers but I can’t remember all their names. I am in the yellow lodge with two of my best friends from school.
I am looking forward to earning badges at Beavers and getting my uniform and scarf and woggle. I will feel very nervous when I put on my uniform for the first time ever and I will be very proud of myself too.
Do you go to any clubs like Beavers, Rainbows, Cubs, Brownies, Scouts or Girl Guides?

The Olympics are coming to London soon. I cannot wait because I am going to the Olympics. I have a ticket to see the men’s handball. I don’t really know what handball is but I would like to see it because they might explain what it is and I will get to see the new Olympic Park in London too. The basketball arena where the men’s handball is played was built especially for the Olympics.
I am going to buy a special t shirt especially for the Olympics. I am going to stay at my Nan’s house the night before the handball then I am going to go on a train to the Olympics. I will take my camera with me to take pictures of very exciting things and I will put them on my blog for you.
I might go to Bedford and see the Olympic torch on Sunday. Different people will be running around Bedford holding the Olympic torch. I am going early in the morning so I can get a good space to see it. It is special because when it gets to London, they’ll use it to light a special candle so the Olympics can start.
Lots of people will get medals. The youngest person ever to win a medal was a thirteen year old child. At school, we are having our own Olympic-themed sports day. We are competing against lots of different schools to win a certificate, but not a medal. I am looking forward to the penalty kick-off. It was very fun when I tried it out last time we practised.
What are you looking forward to the most about the Olympics?
I went to the school fete today. I felt very happy when I arrived because I saw lots of fun games and ice creams… “delicious!”.
The first thing I did was try the teddy tombola. It took me ages to win a prize but in the end I won a teddy lion.
Then I went to the “soak-a-teacher” game. It was fun. The PTFA lady that I soaked said I got shot of the day and a man came over and shook my hand!
After that, I had a hot dog. Yum yum! Next I went to the bouncy castle with my sister. I fell down all the time! After I went on the bouncy castle, I got a tattoo – it was a motorbike. Then me and my sister got our faces painted. I had a skeleton and she had a doggy.
We had lots more fun on the pony rides, playing on the tyres, digging for treasure and fighting my sister with a red tube on the air arena.
I couldn’t wait until the school fete had started. I was waiting ages and I really really enjoyed it because I saw real live ponies and enjoyed myself with my friends and family.
