Constantia Green Belt

This months Nature Walk was organised by Shirley and we had a treasure hunt to find a bunch of things like a bird's nest and fungus. We also had to listen for sounds like the wind in the leaves, and running water.

It started raining quite hard at one point but all the children seemed to enjoy being out-doors anyway.

Now Nathan just has to get used to walking longer distances without needing piggy-back rides from mom!

Puzzle Fun

We have had quite a puzzle morning. You were both so patient especially since the four 36 piece puzzles were mixed up.

Jake manages unseen 12 piece puzzles on his own and Nathan did the 36 piece with a bit of verbal help. They just have to be in the right mood to persevere!

Structures

Had such a successful structure build with spaghetti and marshmellows. Nathan managed easily and think I'll have to trust him with a whole packet of marshies and see what else he comes up with.

Fudge


We have been doing livestock farming at our school and this has lead to dairy products. What a good excuse to use some condensed milk to make fudge.

29 Days to Kickoff!


We went to a concert at the Greenpoint Stadium today. What fun to see the stadium although you did wonder why there was no soccer game going on.
