Today, maash'Allah was a beautiful, crisp autumn day, just right for spending a lot of time walking and for visiting the nature reserve. Today's topic was "Autumn Fruits, Seeds and Leaves". The ranger who led the session began by talking about the signs of autumn, they then went on to think about what a seed needs to grow, and the parts of a small plant. They also learnt about different ways that seeds disperse and looked at some examples of seeds. Then we all went outside (20 children in the group) to play a suvival game, hide acorns like squirrels, collect fallen leaves and hunt for hidden acorns, (and fail to find most of them). Then we all went back inside to do leaf rubbings and plant chikpea seeds. It was an excellent session and everyone seemed to enjoy it.
While the boys and I wew doing that Ia and U were at H's house. U has learnt how to go downstairs there. Ia enjoyed playing and colouring.
On the way this morning we also called in at the library. R has already finished his first book, so probably they will be out of reading material again in a couple of days. U chose a book with shiny stars in it, and I think she said "star" to it. It is time to read Ia her books now!
