This day I love.......

Have you seen, the circus is back in town.

Yes Roll up, Roll up, Justin Fletcher MBE is back this Easter for a brand new show.  Last year we took the girls to see Justin and Friends at the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield.  It was their Easter treat and they absolutely loved it, you can read about it here,  This year we will treat them again to Mr Tumble.

Justin and Friends


Justin and a whole host of characters from something special and Gigglebiz will be there to help Mr Tumble and Mr Tumble's circus.  The show also features firm favourites Andy Day, Robert the Robot and Little Monster.  

The show last year was interactive and lots of fun, both girls thoroughly enjoyed it and this years show promises to be the same.  With unicyclists and jugglers, as well as the CBeebies stars, I think this years show the girls are going to really love.

My daughter loves Justin Fletcher.  There are no two ways about it, she is crazy about him.  She loves to watch him on CBeebies, she loves to watch the DVDs and now she loves the apps.  Justins World is a range of educational apps from Justin Fletcher.  Each app uses storybooks, puzzles, games, video and music and is combined with some wonderful characters from Justin himself.  The apps follow the Early Years foundation Stage and Primary National curriculum.  

There are 4 apps available these are:

Justin’s World – Goldilocks – an interactive adaptation of the popular children’s story. Justin guides and helps you through a series of number and language based activities in line with the EYFS. All characters played by Justin Fletcher 

Justin’s World – Letter Sounds – pick the letter that matches the sound then drag and drop to complete the word! Developed in line with the Primary National Strategy, this phonics  activity features Justin teaching the sound and letting the child join in. 

jigsongs

Justin’s World – Jigsongs – puzzles but with a special sing along musical twist! Drag the pieces in place to finish the puzzle and watch videos of Justin come to life singing some of his favourite songs. The first release includes Old Macdonald, Twinkle Twinkle, 1,2,3,4,5 and The Grand Old Duke of York. 

Justin’s World Animal Sounds - A totally free app to say thank you to all or Justin’s World followers. Join in with Justin’s hilarious impersonations of well known animals 

My daughter at 3 years old, loves all of these apps.  They are worth every penny as she plays with them constantly.  Jigsongs is fantastic as it combines jigsaws at different levels of difficulty and when complete the jigsaw comes to life.  Goldilocks is one of her favourite at night time and she loves helping Goldilocks clean and tidy up.  This is such a wonderful game to play whilst learning about number and language.  The Letter sounds app really is one of the best I have found for teaching letters.  It focuses on one letter at a time, and there are a variety of games to play around each letter.  My daughter simply loves them.

If you have a child who is a fan of Justin Fletcher I would say these are a must have.  Even if you have never heard of him before I cannot recommend these enough, full of fun and such an enjoyable way for children to learn.

I was provided with codes to download the apps for free, all words are my own

My eldest is a huge Mr Tumble and Justin fan.  I think it has to do not only with her love of signing but also that she finds him very funny.  She would often sign things to me that we had not covered in our Sing and Sign classes but that she had seen on Something special.  In shops if she saw Justin on a book or DVD she would point him out and say 'Justin', I know therefore how important he is to her.

When I came across the Cbeebies tour of Justin and Friends I had to buy a ticket for her, and as it was held close to Easter it made a .lovely Easter present.  I was a little worried that at 2 and half she might not understand the show, or sit still long enough or even enjoy it.  I need not have worried, I told her that morning we were going to Justin's house, she looked at me and asked 'Mr Tumble and Justin house' when I answered yes she would not sit still.

We arrived at the Arena and took our seats.  My eldest was amazed as she looked at the stage and read the program

She was really mesmerised by the crowd and the lights and kept asking when Mr Tumble and Justin would be coming out.  I had to tell her they were getting dressed and would be out soon.  To keep her entertained her Auntie bought her a light

That helped take her mind of things and then the show started

She started pointing and going 'Oh Mummy look, Mummy look its robot, its Justin Robot' She was laughing so much and giggling and jumping up and down.  I have never seen her so excited, not even at Christmas.  She clapped and laughed and I was so happy to see how excited she was and that she understood the show. [Please accept my apologies for the bad photography, its hard to take a photo with no flash in a dark space and not let your daughter, who would not sit still, know about it]

Watching show


The show was simply fantastic.  There was plenty of action, and a very easy to follow story line.  My daughter really loved the acrobats, and has since attempted some of the acrobat scenes with her younger sister.  She loved it that the story took place both on and off stage which meant the whole arena felt part of the show.  It was great to see little monster pop up right in front of her, she loved this.

The show was really interactive and my daughter loved the 'interactive screen', she has asked for a TV like Justin's, one she can swipe and shake.  I loved that the show featured lots of songs that my daughter knew and had lots of good humour that made her laugh.  I was so impressed that she not only sat throughout the whole show but enjoyed every second of it.  She has asked over and over to go back to Justin's house.

In case you wondered how I know she enjoyed it, I think this face says it all

Happy
This day I love Justin's House
