What we've been up to...#4 - Zachary's Party

We have been enjoying a fairly relaxed week whilst Daddy has been completing his AQA marking before we head off on holiday to Butlins. Here we are on a trip to Haldon Forest Park with Bumble:

"We need to follow the green one!"

Lots of dens to hide in on the way

Pine cone collecting competition - who could find the largest

Even Little Beeb was helping

Stopping for a tasty packed lunch

Haldon has fantastic views

A little wooden house in the forest

Making number shapes out of twigs

We followed the insect trail (and Highway Rat trail). One of the tasks was to create your own bug using forest materials.

The Highway Rat trail was also a big hit

Making a nest

 Here we are at our Honiton Home Ed group. The current theme is nature.

Guess that foraged ingredient in homemade cordials  

Hiding in the pirate tent

Zachary and Ptolemy find the alphabet

Colouring and pebble stacking

Later in the week it was time to get ready for Zachary's (early) birthday party...

Zachary and Tahlia have also recently started collecting items for their new treasure boxes.

 It was time to pack for our holiday to Butlins in Minehead.
