Day Seven of LOCKDOWN!

 We enjoyed quite a relaxed day today, doing a few chores and a few fun things too.

We've been taking part in PE with Joe Wicks every weekday morning since lockdown began

Joe makes PE fun - here we are climbing Fireman Sam's ladder


Lazy Zachary - I told him we'd be going out for a walk later. He complained and said we're not allowed to because the government has said we're only allowed to exercise once a day and we've just done PE with Joe Wicks!

We had fun planting some chilli seeds of three different varieties

Ptolemy lends a hand

Here's Jory planting the tiny seeds

Then they needed watering

It's a competition between the three varieties -which can germinate first, and which will produce the most chillies (we don't think the kids will be eating them though!). Bets are on as to whether we will be eating these chillies before the end of lockdown!

As promised, we ventured out on a walk - this time, around our local neighbourhood, in search of rainbows (in case you're unaware, many parents are getting their kids to make pictures of rainbows to stick up in their windows. That way, people walking past can see and enjoy them).

One of the first rainbows we found

Here we are outside our friend, Harrison's, house. He happened to hear us as we walked past (I can't think how, we're usually so silent!) and popped out of his front door. We had a nice chat from the pavement.

 We probably found about 15 rainbows in total (although some houses had two in their windows).

 Here we are back at home practising our writing, while Zachary did a human body comprehension (based on a book).



 Then we made some tasty banana cookies to use up some old bananas...

Ptolemy enjoys baking the most...and the eating!
 
Jory also loves to help

Both doing their bit

All done! They all loved eating them for their pudding at tea time.
