Jack and the Beanstalk

Went along to The Lincoln Drill Hall's pantomime again this year and was not disappointed!!   See: www.lincolndrillhall.com

(Although Daddy was convinced all the way through they were going to get him on stage as we were so near the front!  Unfortunately for Jamie, they didn't)

Christmas at School

They didn't have a 'Christmas' production but Jamie was asked to read the following as part of the Key Stage 1 play:  Just as they arrived in Bethlehem Mary knew that her baby was to be born - but there was no room for them in any of the inns.  Eventually, all they were offered was a stable and that is where the Son of God was born.  There was no lovely silk lined cot, only a manger full of hay with animals standing  around. Mary and Joseph did what the Angel had told them and named the baby Jesus.

Year 3/ 4 had a 'Vicious Vikings' celebration at the end of term as that has been the term topic.  They told Viking inspired stories, did song Viking dances and showed off their textile work (Jamie still had his pins in his!).  Not very Christmassy - even if they were in their Christmas jumpers!

Beavers and Cubs at the Panto.....


Do you think they will behave?  'Oh No They Won't!'
Mummy and Daddy got a chance to have a drink in Lincoln.  Only trouble was, it was the Christmas Market so everywhere was packed and it was very cold....But the Cubs enjoyed it.  'Oh Yes They Did!'

Piano Prep Test Passed!!

Jamie had his Prep test on 6th December.  His exam was only 10 minutes long.  He played 'Swinging through the trees' and 'Dreaming' off by heart.

We are pleased to say that he passed!  He got a certificate he can frame and put with Daddy's piano certificates:

Flunky Monkey

Jamie was so happy to get Flunky Monkey from cubs over the weekend.  He got it for being a good example of a cub to the new cubs, being friendly and welcoming.  But it was also commented on how well he had settled into cubs.

Jamie took him to Sundown with us and he was able to meet Santa.  I put the photo on Facebook to show the other cubs, and said Santa told them all to be good little cubs!

Jamie didn't want to give Flunky Monkey back!

Santa at Sundown

It was a long, cold day at Sundown this year, but Jamie, Seth and Noah loved it!


However, I have a feeling this could be the last year after Jamie whispered; 'He had a fake beard' as we left....
