Caden climbing trees as usual.
Miles mid-shot with the bow and arrow. We lost the arrow on this walk. Plenty more at home though.
More fishing and this time seeing what happens when you immerse your shoes in the lake, with your feet still in them. Yes Miles, your feet get wet. No, we cannot dry them immediately!
At Beetroot club today we had a really fantastic Yoga class. Caden really came down to earth today, listened, did as he was told, stayed in the class, enjoyed it and came out with a moon sticker and a fantastic little drawing he made.
Then we did our activity, this week provided by J'Nel, which included Leaf printing....
And digging for worms....
(we didn't find any)
Then, we had to ask the children to find a piece of nature and become it.
Here is Caden becoming a brown Autumn leaf.
Megan, Caden and Miles organising themselves.
We found a huge green bug. Nobody knew what it was but it looked crickety! Any idea please post in comments, thanks :)
Then Caden came to me with a small fragment of glass and told me that it was from the mirror in the Snow Queen. For those that dont know the story... Briefly, the devil made a mirror which showed anyone who looked into it that the world was an ugly place. The mirror was broken into a million pieces and anyone who had a piece of glass get into their body, through an eye, their mouth etc, would find that it worked its way into their heart and made it hard, so they only saw the world in an ugly way. A little girl called Gerda saves her brother from the Snow Queen who takes her brother Kay away to the North. Caden saw this as being a shard of the mirror. We said we were very glad it didn't go into our hearts. The story is by Hans Christian Anderson.
Their usual scoot and bike ride (taken just before my phone ran out of power so not such a great shot) but they have a fantastic space to spend a good 30 minutes scooting about.
