Wednesday we headed back to the Southbank. The boys saw Captain Flynn and the Pirate Dinosaurs and us girls went to the Hayward Gallery and to Martin Creed’s exhibition What’s the Point of it… V enjoyed it, especially the room filled with balloons. She didn’t enjoy the crumpled paper although agreed that it did get her thinking about what is art.
We also headed to the skate park and spent some time posing around there 🙂
I booked so many things in for this half-term which is just was well because bored mummy + bored children = meltdown. I can organise bits and bobs around a ‘main even’ but I need a daily main event to challenge the excess energy. We started with an Okido workshop which was aimed at children of about C’s age but V enjoyed it too. There’s so much on up at the Southbank this week that I urge you to head up there. Today the boys are off to see one of his favourite books – Captain Flynn and the Pirate Dinosaurs and us girls are going to hit the Hayward and then photograph the skate park (long live the skate park) and the brutalist beauty of it all.
She tried her hand at scratching and despite the nerves and poker face the DJ was very impressed. There aren’t many who’ve played the Royal Festival Hall at 8 years old. Just trying to think of her DJ name…
