Football and fires!

Today we spent a lot of time in the garden. We played football. We had competitions where one of us was in goal and the other two playing football and trying to get to ten goals first! It was lots of fun and also a good opportunity to slip some sneaky maths practice in! I kept asking questions such as "ok, I have 3 goals and Mia has 6 how many do I need to get until I am equal with her?" Worked really well, lots of maths was done!

Then we spent time clearing the garden up. We found a little frog which we watched for a bit and we attempted a fire but it didn't take well as the wood was so damp.

Inside Fred was keen to read to me and Mia his Biff, Chip And Kipper books again and we played a new game called "kids charades" where the children had to act out words which were illustrated on cards. Was fun. We are also reading The Cat in The Hat books which we are loving, and we snuggled on the sofa reading a few of them too. We also read some Nativity books and Mia made us laugh as she can't remember the name Jesus and instead says baby grievious!!!!!
