Guess Who is Six?

Ella celebrated her 6th birthday today.  She opened her presents before heading off to school. Her loot included Emma Lego (from Katy) a rocket (from Pippa), The Magic Faraway Tree and a camera (from us).

The camera has proven to be a good choice. Ella is always asking to borrow our camera to take a photo  and now especially visiting many touristy spots while in the UK she'll get to take her own! Below are her first photos - Katy's soft toy Kitten (yes I know it is an elephant!) and Katy.

Ella was excited by the prospect of her class going to Forrest School for half the day. Apparently the class goes by bus to some local woods where the children can explore, build and learn by interacting with the natural environment. Unfortunately there was some complication with the bus driver so they ended up walking across the bridge to Cutteslowe Park and playing on the large playground for most of the afternoon.

Ella did bring home the class soft toy, Bobby Bear for the weekend. So the afternoon was spent playing with her various presents followed by pizza and fairy birthday cake!!
