fungi, furry caterpillar and natural paints.

The weather is due to be great this week, I didn't want to waste it by staying inside so we took our workbooks and went to the reservoir.
The water was so low! A month ago, where they are standing, the kids would have been under the water.
But lots more to explore.


A toadstool!



After lunch the kids (including a friend) sat down to learn about seals as part of our animal block. Here they all are making clay seals.


Kiki was stung by a wasp :( so while the others played, she sat with me.
And looked what crawled by, a furry caterpillar!!!
but after her sting, she was taking no chances :)
While we were out at the reservoir the kids discovered that with certain rocks they could write and draw. They then hatched a plan to make their own natural paints when they got home.
They managed to find brown, yellow, green and purple.
The art studio :)
The children weren't the only ones to enjoy natural paints :)
