What We've Been Up To...#16

Here's an update on some of the things we did in March...

Our loft conversion work commenced!

Kids very excited to see a huge truck delivering heavy supplies

It was Ptolemy's 2nd birthday
He very much enjoyed opening his presents...

...And playing with his new toys
He had lots of cake for his birthday...
...Sadly this Hey Duggee cake didn't survive when he decided to sneak over and join in the decorating!

He had a fun birthday party at home

The kids even made the adults join in with musical chairs

Ptolemy's squashed Hey Duggee cake now decorated with sweets

Ptolemy had lots of fun dressing up

Zachary has been building molecules

Playing the fishing game

Jory loves the 'tunnel of scaffolding'

He wants to be a big boy

Our current project is the Sumerians, thought to be linked to the Tower of Babel in the Bible
We also built our own 'towers of Babel'

Zachary also built his own version of a ziggurat - a Sumerian temple

We had a go at writing our own cuneiform clay tablets
(Cuneiform is thought to be the first ever written language, created by the Sumerians)


We visited the World of Country Life and met Angus, the mascot deer
Both sets of kids enjoyed running around

We also visited Living Coasts and saw the penguins up close

A stroll around Torquay marina

Jory spots a seal at Living Coasts

Making Mother's Day cards at Hedge: a home education group in Exeter

Playing in the little playground at Hedge

Tahlia made a giant flower

Having a run around with skipping ropes outside

Trying the giant xylophone on the Zog (Julia Donaldson) walk at Haldon Forest Park

Beautiful views from the top of Haldon Hill

They all found Zog and his friends along the trail

Daddy was away at a conference in London so we enjoyed some activities related to our favourite books; here is the enormous turnip treasure hunt game - we needed to find all of our favourite characters around the house to help us pull up the enormous turnip!

Here we are about to go on a bear hunt


Uh oh! A forest. A deep, dark forest. We can't go over it, we can't go under it...

Uh oh! A Bear! Quick! Back through the cave!
