Giraffe

I got a giraffe for Easter. Not a real one but a toy one. It is a Littlest Pet Shop pet. It is very cute. I have loads of Littlest Pet Shop pets but more is always welcome. Not all of them have names because it is impossible to name them all. I did not have a giraffe before. Mum is very good at knowing which Littlest Pet Shop pets I don't have and which ones I would like.

I saw a real giraffe at the zoo. It was very big. My giraffe is very small compared to a real one but can you imagine trying to play with something that big? I got a girl Littlest Pet Shop doll for Christmas. She is very pretty. I don't think she will be sleeping with the giraffe cuddled up close. That is the cat's job. The giraffe will fit in with my seal because they both live in the zoo. I love Littlest Pet Shop pets. I am glad that I have so many.

Singing Trees

This week we have been going to a homeschooling camp. Everyone is sleeping in a tent, except us. We're sleeping at home, and driving to camp every day. All the children are acting in plays. we younger kids are performing 'The Princess and the Pea' musical. The older children are doing 'A Comedy of Errors' by William Shakespeare.

We were sent our scripts at the beginning of last week. Imogen and Charlotte highlighted their parts in their play so that they could find their speeches. Then Sophie came running to me with some paper in her hand and she said that we had parts in 'The Princess and the Pea' play. I was a singing tree, and Sophie was a page boy. We highlighted our parts too. I got my own script the night before the camp.

At camp in the afternoon, we were going to practice 'The Princess and the Pea'. We read out the parts, and everyone was too soft. Then we were divided up into groups to practice. The trees and the princesses went outside to work together.

It was very funny to see the princesses practising. They were trying to curtsy but some people got the wrong the leg, some didn't know where to put their legs at all, but no one fell over. We singing tree were very good.

Tomorrow night we're going to perform 'The Princess and the Pea'. I'm a little worried that I'll forget what to do, but I think it will be fun anyway!
