Story Games: Music From Heaven

Listen to the music and try to think of some kind, gentle and sometimes weird things Lady Penelope, Tin Tin and I would find in 8th Heaven. With every time the next song starts playing, draw a new picture and label it with various key words to tell you what the song reminds you off and what your creation or place is.

Story Games: What Makes Me Smile?

Back in the beginning of the milennium, Pudsey had the power to make everyone smile. Choose one of the characters above, and write a list from A to Z or an acrostic list based on their names of what makes your chosen character smile - it can be anything!

Story Games: Who Do You Miss Most, Mr Brum?

When you look at the old episodes of Brum, what do you miss most? Have one family member play the interviewer and you play Brum, and ask a variety of questions about the friends he used to love and the things he used to get up to, until Paul Leather horrendously changed his life forever and ruined it.

Story Games: Nostalgia Or Ideas? We Make You Think Of...

When you look at this picture, what colourful pieces of nostalgia does it remind you of? Pick a few examples starting with the first letters of the characters shown - Teletubbies, Spot, Noddy, Pingu, Playdays, Bob The Builder, Tweenies and Star Hill Ponies - and write a list of things they remind you of. And if you have an idea, use those first letters to write down small words for your ideas.

Story Games With Noddy!

Take a book from the shelf that makes you cry and try to retell it by picking one of the magazines above in the picture in a positive way. Use these examples to help you:

Noddy - Simple moments

Teletubbies - Bright colours

Spot - Gentle moments

Pingu - Moments of mischief and fun

Playdays - Moments of kindness

A Late Reply From Princess Celestia: Pain & Panic

My dear student,

I understand from that one yell you crudely drew on that torn piece of paper and sent to me via the mail that you're suffering through the day with no nap, and I'm so proud of you. So is Princess Luna, Shining Armor, Cadance and little baby Flurry Heart.

Suffice to say that Flurry Heart has been one day without napping, and her baby magic has been going crazier than ever, so Shining Armor and Cadance have to stay round at Canterlot until she becomes less cranky.

Perhaps some old annoying Disney song about family trees sung by a hyperactive bouncy tiger can help calm her down?

Humbly,

Your friend,

Princess Celestia

A Late Letter To Princess Celestia: Napless

Dear Princess Celestia,

HEEEEEELLLLLPPP!!!

Yours sufferingly,

Your faithful student

A Reply from Princess Celestia: Lovely!

My dear student,

I must say, it's wonderful of you to choose a new place to eat, and one of the Royal Guards told me it's become your new favourite place too!

The moment you and your support worker drove out of Alness, Princess Luna and I entered Greggs too. I ordered a cheese and ham sandwich myself, and a bottle of strawberry flavoured Innocent, while Luna got a sausage roll, a Pudsey Bear cake like your's, and a hot chocolate. Because...what would bedtime be without a hot cocoa?

Ha ha!

Anyway, Luna and I are cheering you on all the way. Hope to see you soon!

Humbly,

Your friend,

Princess Celestia

A Letter To Princess Celestia: Greggs

Dear Princess Celestia,

Look at that.

Look at all that.

Take it in, 'cause you're about to take it all in.

I have officially had my first visit to my new favourite food takeaway joint - Greggs! From there, I had bought not only something apart from a sausage roll, but also a cake and a bottle of Coke Zero.

The something different in question was a cheese and ham baguette - chilled - and a Pudsey Bear cake!

Have you been to Gregg's too?

Yours hungrily,

Your faithful student

Dork Diaries - Dear Dork: A Review

 

Tales from a Not-So-Smart Miss Know-It-All by Rachel Renée Russell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read the first few bits of this book when I moved to the bungalow in Dornoch.

I got a bit tired after reading a few pages, but the first few pages of Nikki and her BFFs, Chloe and Zoe, having a sleepover, and eating all those sweet treats, can make anyone hungry.

dare I say it....SQUEE!

A Late Reply From Princess Celesta: Actions Have Consequences

My faithful student,

It was very brave of you to learn that actions have consequences, and when you mentioned the P U B word in front of your mother, I couldn't bare to see you scream at her, as if you had been taken over by a demon.

But demons don't matter - friends do, and despite not having any friends due to niche interests, you can still strive to impress. This is why I recorded you taking out the Capybara Cuties book and deciding to do a story for the first ever sheet in the book.

I've read it, and it was absolutely wonderful. However, you and your mum mustn't decide what to do with it until your goal sheet has been fully coloured, or else all of Equestria will be destroyed.

Just a warning.

Humbly,

Your friend,

Princess Celestia
