Advantages: fun and educational Disadvantages: none
I've been on the lookout lately for some activities to do with my four year old daughter to help her get ready for 'big school' in January. Thanks to the good start she has had at nursery she is quite comfortable with her initial letter sounds but it seems that when it comes to writing the letters down it is a different matter. It was for this reason that I wanted to find some things to help her practice writing the letters down - so I was very pleased to spot in Sainsburys these wipe clean flash cards to help to learn to write letters.
The pack contains twenty six double sided cards (covering all the letters in the alphabet)which all have a wipe clean surface. A special pen is also included so that your child can write on the cards over and over again. The cards feel very sturdy and will take quite a lot of wear and tear I should think ...
Advantages: Says what is needed to be said Disadvantages: One hell of a lot of pain...
I've hit an anniversary of sorts...and however much the lot of you must be fed up with me baring my soul to the world, the words need saying...and this is where I chose to say them.
Ekaterin,
I know you always hated that name, but I don't, the way the four syllables roll off the tongue is near enough perfect, and it suited you. I found your name later in a novel, which was so unusual it took me aback...and probably explains why I still love that series. So even though I can almost see you squaring your shoulders and readying your fists, I won't call you Kat. In my mind you'll always be Ekaterin.
I'm not even sure why I'm writing, I mean, I've done my utmost best to forget, as only in forgetting is there no more pain in your memory. But, that doesn't do you justice, and I suspect I only try to ...
Advantages: Just creative writing. Disadvantages: Some may not enjoy it.
The epitome of perfection does not exist for me, and that is a sad fact. If he did, this is the kind of letter that I think I would write to him.
Dear someone,
I woke up this morning, felt your pillow and you were not there. I felt alone and frightened, and then you turned up, wrapped in a towel, and smiling, and handed me a daffodil and kissed me. I appreciated that. You are always so thoughtful and kind, and I can never tell you enough how much that pleases me.
You never noticed that I got bigger as I got older, just told me that there was more of me to love. Never said about my hair going grey, or my bum being pulled by gravity, just loved me for who I was, and made me smile. I love the smile in your eyes because it is reflected in my own. Our humour is alike, and your happiness my happiness without even trying.
You didn ...
