Today I went ice skating for the first time. Dad, mum and Ellie wellie woo and I went to beckworth emporium we went skating then had snacks in the cafe, I had sparkling water and a fruit salad

This evening we had a surprise visit from Santa, he said he was just checking whether we’d swept the chimney recently and if we were planning on have a fire on Christmas Eve

Bear had his first full game in goal. He was really looking forward to it. His team played very and were 3-0 up by half time and bear had seen very little of the ball in the first half.
The Corby team started the 2nd half in great style, their striker drew bear off his line and scored with a perfect chip!

Rejuvenated Thrapston got back into it and quickly regained their 3 goal advantage. Bear saw more action in the last quarter and saved a couple of good Corby shots. The game ended 4-1.

Here are our two trees, the little one is in bears room and the bigger one is in the sitting room!!

We had so much rain that the Brook burst its banks and flooded the pocket park.

The wait is over, after last weeks abandonment bear finally got to be Goalie for Thrapston Town under 7 squad. Bear was in goal for the second half and came on with his team trailing 1-0, the rest of the team played very well and levelled the score with 10 mins to go! A superb save kept his team in it and with no more goals the match finished 1-1.

This years remembrance service was bear’s first Beaver’s church parade. If was his time wearing his beavers uniform too! A beavers sweatshirt and Necker, bear started at the RATS beavers a few weeks earlier with his friend Ethan. RATS is Ringstead and Thrapston Scouts!

The Lowick bonfire night was rained off and was rescheduled for the 10th Nov – it was a mild night and lots of people came out. Bears friend Reece came along, they played glow sticks and sparklers! Hot dogs and scrummy home made tomato soup made for a great snack!

Beavers was cancelled due to Guy Fawks so we went to the Thrapston fireworks display at the Cricket club, it was very good, even if there wasn’t a bonfire!
