How to survive Half Term

“I have been alive for seven years and that’s how I know about Half Terms and the best things to do. And I have a brother called Elliot and he is six. This article is about all the things that we like to do during Half Term.”

Spending time with your squirming sibling

Playing LEGO is fun because you can work together but be careful not to throw it!
In the morning, keep them busy so they don’t go into Mummy and Daddy’s bedroom. I give my brother “homework” to do.
But sometimes you give each other space. Otherwise you will get fed up with your sibling.

Reading Books

These are three of the books I am reading this Half Term.

[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_blurb admin_label=”Blurb” title=”The Sheep Pig by Dick King-Smith” url=”http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Sheep-pig-Dick-King-Smith/dp/0141332352″ url_new_window=”on” use_icon=”off” icon_color=”#7EBEC5″ use_circle=”off” circle_color=”#7EBEC5″ use_circle_border=”off” circle_border_color=”#7EBEC5″ image=”http://reallykidfriendly.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/The-Sheep-Pig-by-Dick-King-Smith1.jpg” alt=”The Sheep Pig by Dick King-Smith” icon_placement=”top” animation=”top” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”center”]

This book is funny because Babe the pig learns how to act like a sheepdog.

[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_blurb admin_label=”Blurb” title=”Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling” url=”http://www.amazon.co.uk/Harry-Potter-Philosophers-Stone-Athronydd/dp/1408817675/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1414344853&sr=1-2&keywords=harry+potter+philosophers+stone” url_new_window=”on” use_icon=”off” icon_color=”#7EBEC5″ use_circle=”off” circle_color=”#7EBEC5″ use_circle_border=”off” circle_border_color=”#7EBEC5″ image=”http://reallykidfriendly.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Harry-Potter-and-the-Philosophers-Stone-by-JK-Rowling.jpg” alt=”Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling” icon_placement=”top” animation=”top” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”center”]

This book is magical. I am enjoying Harry’s adventures at Hogwart’s School. This book is perfect for little wizards.

[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_blurb admin_label=”Blurb” title=”The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis ” url=”http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lion-Witch-Wardrobe-Chronicles-Narnia/dp/0007323123/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1414344931&sr=1-1&keywords=The+Lion%2C+The+Witch+and+The+Wardrobe+by+C.S.+Lewis” url_new_window=”on” use_icon=”off” icon_color=”#7EBEC5″ use_circle=”off” circle_color=”#7EBEC5″ use_circle_border=”off” circle_border_color=”#7EBEC5″ image=”http://reallykidfriendly.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/The-Lion-The-Witch-and-The-Wardrobe-by-C.S.-Lewis.jpg” alt=”The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis” icon_placement=”top” animation=”top” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”center”]

Lucy is my favourite character because she finds the wardrobe first.

Going to the park

Kicking leaves is exciting because the wind blows them away.
Playing football. The most popular teams are Arsenal, Chelsea and Man U. My family supports West Ham and their nickname is The Hammers.
Stay in the park for ages. You can bring your bike, or if you are lucky like us, you can bring your skateboard.
