This half term we have been suffering with a cold virus. I had lost my voice for a day, have been left with an awful tickly cough. The boys are bunged up, with horrible coughs... half term has been a challenge of the utmost kind!
One thing has kept us some way sane, has helped us feel a little better and allowed us to have some quiet cuddle times on the sofa is...
The Octonauts are a team of underwater explorers who help creatures who are hurt or distressed.
It is on Cbeebies every week day at 4.50pm, it has to be the best thing on TV at the moment!
My two spend the entire day being the Octonauts characters. Charlie is Kwazi the adventure loving Pirate Cat and Rufus is Peso the Nurse Penguin who loves all creatures.
During these imagination plays Dan takes over the role of Captain Barnacle and I have been given the role of Dashie the Sausage Dog who loves to take photos and oversees all of the ships operations (of course!).
Thank you to The Octonauts for a great and memorable half term, despite the rain and the coughs.
Shhhh I think Father Christmas will be bringing some of the books to our house this Christmas for sure!

oooh- I've not seen that, we will look out for it. We've not been able to get Cbeebies since Pearl broke the control for the digibox...
ReplyDeleteOh no, broken controls! (I suppose it's a good thing really, too much tv isn't the best, but Okay when feeling poorly). Trying watching on Iplayer?
ReplyDeleteI have not seen this or heard of it yet! Shall set to record. Peppa Pig may have competition!
ReplyDeleteSo it's not just my 3 year old who has been won over by this new programme!
ReplyDeleteHe also spends his day's being Kwazi, we even now call him that, he loves it and watches it time and time again, much to the annoyance of his older brother!
He even asked for his craved out pumpkin to be Kwazi, so his dad has done exactly that, it looks really cool!
Thank goodness for Cbeebies!
Hope your all feeling better

Oh, the lurgy has had us too, stuck my two out in the garden today as the rain had stopped for a while - must say I was glad to escape Mr Tumble and friends for a while! Haven't yet watched the Octonauts - but the girls have, and love it!
ReplyDeleteHope you're all feeling better soon. x
Oh and I meant to say get well soon xx
