| The kids (especially Ptolemy) were delighted to see Joe Wicks dressed as Spiderman for their PE class this morning |
 |
| All working hard! |
 |
| Jory can spell Morrisons -backwards (this was intentional; see if you can spot it) |
 |
| The kids were delighted to receive a new book each, sent to them by Bumble and Grandad |
 |
| Tahlia loves anything pretty looking |
 |
| Ptolemy particularly loves the pop-up T-rex |
 |
| Tahlia spent ages on the colouring sheets they also sent |
 |
| Daddy is getting some exercise in during his work breaks |
 |
| They were very pleased to see their friend Harrison, also out on a walk |
 |
| They found quite a few rainbows; this one is a little hard to see due to the reflection of the sun |
Later, we continued with our chocolate themed activities...
 |
| Zachary enjoyed setting up a poll to find out people's favourite chocolate bar; tomorrow he'll check up on the final results and make a graph |
 |
| He was very excited when he got some responses and kept us updated for most of the afternoon |
 |
| This is our only chocolate themed book - Chocolate Mousse for Greedy Goose by Julia Donaldson |
 |
| Their favourite part is when they all go to sleep at the end (spoilers!) |
 |
| We watched Michael Rosen tell his excellent Chocolate Cake short story -he is so animated! Sad to hear he's in intensive care at the moment with possible Covid 19 (he's also the writer of 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt'). |
 |
| The others built a den in the dining room but wouldn't let Jory in! |
 |
| Our next chocolate themed activity was a chocolate fondue game |
 |
| They had to spin the wheel to see what they had to dip; with a few unusual outcomes! |
 |
| Ptolemy has to dip a cheese and onion crisp |
 |
| Zachary was disappointed to spin 'carrot' three times in a row! |
 |
| Next we did a dissolving experiment |
 |
| Whilst trying to keep all other factors the same for a fair test, we tested cocoa powder in different temperatures of water to see which dissolved the fastest |
 |
| The hot water was the fastest in less than 20 seconds; the powder didn't dissolve much at all in the cold water; we talked about why this was the case |
 |
| Ptolemy's potty training isn't going as well as we'd hoped; he never tells us if he needs to go or even if he's wet himself |
 |
| Here we talked about how milk chocolate is high in calories. Here they are running on the spot for 30 seconds to earn just one M&M to eat -it takes a lot of exercise to counter those extra calories! |
 |
| They were begging to play the chocolate bar treasure hunt again; this time Tahlia hid them all (unfortunately she threw half of them into our neighbour's garden as she thought we'd never find them) |
 |
| Next, Ptolemy hid the chocolate bar wrappers |
