Dish Stacking

When you wash the dishes, how high do you stack the dishes to avoid drying?

This is how far some in my family would go...




Year 6 Leaver's Assembly and Memories

On Friday Corbin had his last day in primary school.  They had arranged a lovely leavers assembly for the year 6's.  There was a section for fond memories and Corbin got a special mention!  Do you remember this his school project a couple of years involving Siege Equipment?

Well even if you don't they did!  One of the teachers stood up and this is what he said:  "In 1895 when the old School Building was being constructed Mr. Davis found an ancient Roman manuscript.  After many years of work, Mr. Davis has finally discovered that the text was written by a young Centurion, Corbinus Boweni and was entitled Health and Safety Regulations for the Safe Operation of Siege Equipment.

I would like to read for you the first paragraph from the manuscript, written in the ancient Latin dialect of Latin O.  If there are any budding linguistics maybe they can help Mr. Davis translate:  'Never place o your head e o in front of o catapult o. Unless o you want to uttero I can see my house o from here e o.'

If only Mrs Goodfellow could read Latin O."

He then called Corbin up and handed him this 'certificate' (It was well received and there was lots of giggling and laughing)



So it's on to High School in September!

Happy Birthday Corbin!

On the 28th June Corbin turned 11!  The day started with the usual pile in bed singing and opening presents.




 He had been asking for Heelys (trainers with wheels in the heels) for such a long time, so he was really excited to open this box and see them!



 At Pete's house opening more presents;
 Walkie Talkies!  He and Rachel are still having a great time with them!
 He asked for Spicy Chicken salad for dinner which Pete very kindly made.











He had a lovely day and really liked all of his presents.  I hope 11 is going to be great for you my boy!
