The end of half term

Well it has been a busy two weeks, with all our visitors we had had 2 weeks off any sort of semi structure as d had 2 weeks of fun and informal learning! 

On Friday we had our second book club and looked at hairy maclary and we baked dog shaped biscuits to decorate made our own figure puppets and made toy dogs out of old toilet rolls! Great fun

Today was no exception as the Hama beads came out and some beautiful pictures were created

But the biggest thing today was the big sort out of the girls play room! Old toys were cleared out and donated to charity, walls were cleaned and posters put up, wall hangers were ordered to store school supplies in and now we just need to set up the computer in there and put up a couple of shelves and then we are al ready to use the play room as a school room. This will be great as all toys will be in one place and the girls will be able to choose their activities to work on, be it creative play or role play or written work it will all be together in one place! 

Tomorrow their grandma departs for Spain and we will be sad to see her go but we are looking forward to getting back to some sort of routine :-)
