Son: Guess what? I’m in the finals for the photo competition!
Mum: Wow! That’s great!
Son: Yeah – we sat down in our assembly circle this morning and Mrs W said, “Now, I want to talk to you about who’s in the final.” And then she said I am one and two other children are too.
Mum: Just three of you then?
Son: Yeah – so can I go – can I go the the final, mum?
Mum: I don’t know if you need to go to something. It might just mean that your bluebell picture is in the final – I haven’t heard anything about you having to go anywhere.

Son: We had our pictures taken today and we had a competition! But I didn’t win.
Mum: Oh? What was the competition?
Son: Whoever finds the best flower gets to show it in assembly. I didn’t get the best flower though.
Mum: What flower did you get?
Son: A bluebell.
Mum: I like a bluebell. What were the winning flowers?
Son: A dandelion, which was still yellow, a daisy and a holly leaf which had a berry on it because it was from a cold place. Mine was number 4, so I don’t get to show it. The teacher took my picture with me pretending to ring it like a bell, but it’s only the winners get their pictures printed – only 1, 2 and 3, so my picture didn’t get printed.
Mum: Well I would have chosen a bluebell! I think bluebells are lovely.
Son: Yes, and they REALLY DO ring like a bell – I looked inside and it had a hard ball, like a raisin inside.
Mum: A stamen?
Son: Yes – a stamen – and when I shook it, I listened REALLY hard and I heard a little tinkle!

Son: Why does the tree look all purple?
Mum: I don’t know, is it blossom that’s starting to flower?
Son: No, it’s because I didn’t get enough sleep. I’ve got purple eyes.

D: It’s some people getting married. That’s the church; that’s the dress – with the hat; they’re the flowers and that’s the people kissing.

2013 Calendar – Dec 2012
D: They’re two hedgehogs [centre].
That’s the sun [top left]; they’re some trees [top right]; and they’re some flowers [beneath the trees].
Me: It’s good – is that a rainbow over the hedgehogs?
D: No, it’s just some detail – we had to add some detail, so that’s my detail.

D: They’re four flowers and that’s the dog [in pink], who’s doing a poo. That’s the person’s legs [in blue], and that’s their head up there [in brown].
– The person’s holding a lead in their hand.
