People Like Polo


Arjan loves cats as he does with any animal.

As young babies begin looking around their world, they are automatically attracted to things that move, are brightly coloured, and are easy to see. They are fascinated by things that make interesting noises, are capable of interacting with them and are unpredictable in what they do and how they behave.

It makes sense, therefore, that aside from other people, animals are the next most interesting "thing" for young children.

Northala Fields



We all enjoyed an evening out at Northala Fields. Plenty of activities for the young ones as well as the the more senior ones.

******************** PLACE ********************

Northala Fields is an award-winning country-style park located in Northolt, Greater London. It was opened in 2008 and consists of four artificial hills standing next to the A40 Western Avenue, as well as several fishing lakes and a large field area. The hills were constructed using rubble from the demolition of the original Wembley Stadium, which was closed in 2000 and demolished in 2003. The park was created as part of the Northolt and Greenford Country Park project, and backs onto the older Rectory Park.

The name "Northala" is how the old manor of Northall (Northolt) was recorded in the Domesday book in 1086.

As well as the mounds to climb up and have fantastic panoramic scenes of West London, there are 2 well equipped playgrounds for the under 14s, one at Dolphin Road and one in the centre of the park with wooden style play equipment and large slide.

There are also 6 fishing lakes and 3 wildlife ponds and a cafe.

McDonalds Interactive Floor Games



We are starting to see this more and more in Mc Donalds. Interactive Floor Games. The games that we regularly see are:
1. Balloon Popping - stamp on the balloons floating through the scene to pop them and score points
2. Colouring Squares - walk through a grid of squares and watch them change colour
3. Swiming in the Ocean - as you move through the water you create ripples.

Supplied by Paradigm, gesture-controlled technology to create and develop the Happy Meal Digital Play concept – a series of movement-activated, interactive floor media games, linked to each Happy Meal promotion.

Paradigm first began working with McDonald’s UK in 2010, trialling ceiling mounted projectors to create this digital floor play, with the content, projected onto the floor — purpose-designed to the promotions by The Marketing Store.

Paradigm AV sales director, Mick Perrone said: “This solution is low maintenance and remotely managed. It can be reprogrammed offline, so that new campaigns can be uploaded as they come along — and the system automatically powers up and switches off in accordance with trading hours.”

The gesture-controlled principle is based on overhead tracking cameras and infra-red emitters, projecting straight onto the tiled floor, creating an immersive environment with which the clientele can engage. The software consists of a standard library of scenes along with the custom effects created by The Marketing Store.

Echo Subway





1 Child + 1 Subway = 1 Screaming

How irresistible is a tunnel or subway to a child when they realise they can create an echo. For parents it can seen as the kids being noisy and annoying. For kids, they are experimenting with their senses. The sound of their voice is reverberating to a significant extent to prod their curiosity as why is this anomaly happening. It's simple child inquisitiveness. So don't scold your children for questioning their world.

A Day Out in Osterley Park





Osterley Park is a mansion set in a large park of the same name. It is in the London Borough of Hounslow, part of the western suburbs of London. The original building on this site was a manor house built in the 1570s for banker Sir Thomas Gresham, who purchased the manor of Osterley in 1562.



When the house was built it was surrounded by rural countryside. It was one of a group of large houses close to London which served as country retreats for wealthy families, but were not true country houses on large agricultural estates.

If you like classic cars and motorbikes then the Ace Cafe will be right up your street. Regularly holding events for specific classic cars, bikes like the one we went to today, the Nissan Skyline GTR R34.

They serve great food too, like my favourite, hot dog, chunky chips (crispy on the outside and lovely soft potato on the inside) and the obligatory mug of tea.

Holiday in Plymouth Part 6 Are You Being Served





One of the best things that I like about staying at a bed and breakfast is ... breakfast. It's just like going to a restaurant but you are having breakfast. Everybody is happy and excited because you are all on holiday. You can even wear your pyjamas ... how relaxed is that?

Arjan learnt how to operate the cereal dispenser and stack all the jams and marmalades up into a tower.

No matter where you go in the world, you will always find a fantastic Chinese Restaurant. The dish of the night was Deep Fried Sweet and Sour Fish.

Also in this video, watch Arjan eat jelly cubes with chopsticks.

Mary Poppins also pays a visit to Plymouth.

And finally, Arjan's endless search for a sandy beach to use his bucket and spade on, has now resorted to making his own beach out of clothes on the bed in our Hotel!

Today, Arjan just could not contain his excitement as we went to Plymouth Lido. Well, there was a severe lack of sandy beaches and I guess this was the next best thing. Not only that, but Arjan was able to wear his favourite outfit, Thomas Hat and Swimsuit.

Holiday in Plymouth Part 2 This is our new house





After retiring to a relaxing night at the hotel (Arjan is now under the impression that this is our new house!), we were all excited in exploring Plymouth. First stop of the day was ... breakfast ... at Oggy Oggy Pasty. They were a friendly crew and catered for our larger than life breakfast party. Although they specialize in Cornish Pasties, we all all had the more traditional English breakfast as we are all truly English!!

A short walk took us to the beach. And then to the next hotel we we stayed at, Kynance. Really friendly. They made our stay feel very special.

Arjan In A Bottle



Introducing the ancient art of "Bottle Pushing".

We have all in all probability taken part sometime in our lives that most enjoyable activity of "Bottle Pushing". The rules are quite simply, find yourself a relatively smooth table, and an object such as a bottle that has a relatively friction free bottom. Attempt to push the object, in this case a drinking water bottle, across the table without making it fall over or fall off the edge of the table. An additional option is to hit a particular object also on the table, which itself is allowed to fall over, fall off the table or disastrously break.

Incy Wincy Spider


Arjan knows 2 versions of this nursey rhyme - 
  • the traditional one
Incy Wincy spider climbing up the spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sunshine and dried up all the rain
And Incy Wincy spider climbed up the spout again
  • the sikh one



Itsy Bitsy Spider


"Itsy Bitsy Spider" (also known as "Incy Wincy Spider" and several other similar sounding names) is a popularnursery rhyme and fingerplay that describes the adventures of a spider as it ascends, descends, and reascends the downspout or "waterspout" of a gutter system (or, alternatively, the spout of a teapot or open-air reservoir). It is usually accompanied by a sequence of gestures that mimic the words of the song. Its Roud Folk Song Index number is 11586
.


Lyrics

A commonly used version uses these words and gestures:
WordsFingerplay
The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the waterspout.
Down came the rain
and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun
and dried up all the rain
and the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again.
Alternately touch the thumb of one hand to the index finger of the other.
Hold both hands up and wiggle the fingers as the hands are lowered.
Sweep the hands from side to side.
Raise both hands and sweep to the sides to form a semicircle as the sun.
Wiggle fingers upwards.
(as in the first line)
Other versions exist. The version in the video above, for example, says went instead of climbed.

Origins

The song can be found in publications including an alternate version in the book, Camp and Camino in Lower California (1910), where it was referred to as [the classic] "Spider Song".[4] It appears to be a more different version of this song using “blooming, bloody” instead of just "itsy bitsy". It was later published in one of its several modern versions in Western Folklore, by the California Folklore Society (1948),[5] Mike and Peggy Seeger's, American Folk Songs for Children(1948), and The Growing Family: A Guide for Parents by Maxwell Slutz Stewart (1955). In 2013 Maziar Bahari's company Off-Centre Productions created an animated version of the song featuring an animated mouse character called "Journo".
Lyrics as described in 1910, as being from the 'classic' "Spider Song":
Oh, the blooming, bloody spider went up the spider web,
The blooming, bloody rain came down and washed the spider out,
The blooming, bloody sun came out and dried up all the rain,
And the blooming, bloody spider came up the web again.
The song is sung by and for children in countless languages and cultures. In Germany the melody is used for the song "Spannenlanger Hansel (de)".
