Sad & Upset

I've been really scared and upset yesterday because of

1.What I did in the last two days

2.What I saw on Newsround and other news channels

But luckily, Newsround has some reassuring news articles. They even have a guide to show me and all you other Newsround followers what to do if you're upset by the news. Click here to find out more:

School Of Roars Activity Time - Breakfast Club - Breakfast Recipes/What's Inside Mr. Marrow's Moustache?

The little monsters always have a healthy breakfast to start their day and get their energy for a fun-filled day at the School Of Roars. How's about your child makes breakfast recipes with you? Click the link below to find lots of breakfast recipes geared down towards little ones:

And as I've found out, Mr. Marrow can pull lots of different things out of his moustache. This inspired me to think up a game for you to play with your child, named 'What's Inside Mr. Marrow's Moustache?'. This is sort of like a School Of Roars version of the 'What's In The Bag' section of another CBeebies show, The Baby Club. All you need is a bag, a printout of a moustache and some safe, child-appropriate kitchen items, be it food or plastic cutlery. It will encourage your child to learn about textures and what they can feel just by feeling around in your bag. Ask your child "What's in Mr. Marrow's moustache, (name of child)?" and describe what they can feel inside the bag. After a few guesses, reveal the object they've touched first inside the bag, or moustache. Find more sensory play ideas similar to this game here:

My Mum Tracy Beaker - Reunion

In celebration of My Mum Tracy Beaker, I'm doing a series of blog posts/mini-dramas named 'Reunion' about the now-adult trio of Vlad, Tracy and Arthur reuniting and getting into adventures. The first post will be uploaded during the premiere episode and will see Arthur reunite with Tracy and Vlad when he's lost all hope. Other posts will see Arthur, Vlad, Tracy and Zoltan play the 'Dare Game' in Arthur's apartment, which consists of them drinking while Zoltan smokes weed and gets the munchies, resulting in him eating the food in Arthur's fridge, attending the fair and getting lost in the maze while Vlad speeds around on Zoltan and their parents attending a meeting to see how their children progressed. There will also be a blog post where they reminisce over old photos, leading to Vlad recalling the events of the Young Dracula episode 'Blood Relations' before they are rudely interrupted by Ingrid.

Stay in early 2021 to see the trio's antics, and watch out for My Mum Tracy Beaker coming soon to CBBC!

Letter To Darrall Macqueen About Chip & Potato

This morning I wrote a letter to Darrall Macqueen, creators of Chip & Potato, about two of my predictions for the episodes 'Big Sister Chip' and 'After School Chip'. For 'Big Sister Chip', I told them that Chip would sing a song about what her baby sister would look like, ala the book 'Little Owl's Egg'. If you own the book and have watched Chip & Potato on Netflix, that's fine by me.

For 'After School Chip', I told D.M. (not Danger Mouse, Darrall Macqueen) that at the after school club, Chip will meet her best friend Nico and engage in activities like building puzzles and sharing the same juice boxes when it's time to eat.

If you haven't got Netflix and haven't seen Chip & Potato, what do YOU think will happen in each episode?
