This week I enjoyed making pikelets, making sock animals, and sand gardens! I found making sock animals hard because it was hard to put things on it.

A British man caught a fish and it jumped into his throat and medics had to come to the pier in Boscombe. They were told that he was kissing the fish to celebrate his catch but it wriggled out of his hands and went into his throat and it was blocking his airway. His friend performed CPR on him while the emergency services were on their way. The paramedic got the fish out on the 6th attempt.
