Half-term

Sunday, June 10th, 2012

Another half-term week is done – tomorrow I’m back in the office.

Apart from the usual (playground, Lego, visiting the library, board games, cooking, face paint, soft-play, few visits to the swimming pool, visiting family, that kinda thing) we did try a few new things worth mentioning.

Half-term

TK Maxx had a 100x microscope for only 8 quid that actually works surprisingly well, so we spent ages looking at stuff around the house.

We made bouncy balls out of zubber which managed to bounce seriously high in the park. Before kinda falling apart.

We built a miniature brick house, from clay bricks we moulded ourselves.

We went to see Cerrie from CBeebies in a kids show and visit the Living Rainforest near Newbury.

Oh, and listened to the girls sing “Rule, Britannia!” and “God Save the Queen” over and over and over again. They can’t be stopped.
