Uno, Dos, Tres – Salta!!!!

Last week we visited Victoria Park and found lots of things to do. We liked the maze and the pirate ship and the huge chute. Here is Maggie on the trampoline.

Ice Insects

SUMMER 2013 123
This is what we did today – used our hammers and other tools to try and break ice. There were some insects (plastic) inside the ice.
Louise helped us organize this because she knew it would cool us down in all this heat!!
We saw some children do this on an internet site and Jonah liked the idea of adding the insects.
Jonah “it was hard to break the ice because the ice was harder than the hammer”.

Pink Lemonade

SUMMER 2013 011
During a small group discussion about Laurie’s birthday party one of the children asked if she was having pink lemonade.
This made us all laugh as we hadn’t heard about pink lemonade. Melanie helped us look for a recipe on the internet and we found a good one that used raspberries and lemons. Making the lemonade was quite tricky as the process had lots of stages – but it was very delicious and we all had a cup of pink lemonade with our lunch to help Laurie celebrate her birthday.
The photograph above shows Jonah and Maggie extracting the juice from the fruit.

Mora’s Butterfly

Mora found a butterfly in the garden today.  It stayed with Mora for ages and she was so gentle with it. WELL DONE MORA FOR BEING SO KIND!

Keeping Cool

Here is Dathan making the most of our giant paddling pool. We have had the pool out ALL WEEK!!! Actually we have 2 pools.  This is the noisy splashy pool that is very popular with all the boys and Thea!! The other is a smaller and quieter pool for those of us who don't like being splashed.

Day Out at Mugdock for School Leavers

This was our summer trip. We had a barbeque and then as a special treat from Melanie Sood (Alex's mum) we had icecream.This is us with our icecreams that we ate on the way to the castle. It was a long walk to the castle but we all made it and actually found a secret short cut up a huge hill. We had fun imagining the olden days when people used to live in the castle and enjoyed looking at the dungeons!! WE ARE ALL EXCITED ABOUT STARTING SCHOOL NEXT MONTH!!
