Worm farming at home

 Here are Grace's pictures of her putting the worm farm in the ground with her dad. We had to dig a couple of holes to find a good place for it to go. As you can see, we found some worms to put in with it. 

Daddy even helped me make the holes bigger.

Dalla's "Three little pigs house"

 Over the weekend, Dalla and her parents went about making House of Sticks (for the Three Little Pigs Story).


We found an array of sticks in one of our paddocks and popped them into a paper bag. 

Once back in the Shed, Dalla's Dad went about cutting the sticks to equal lengths. Together, we then went about nailing the sticks together. Dalla's Dad also made a little door for the house so that the Piggy could get in and out.

When the structure of the house was built, Dalla and her Mum went and found greenery for the roof and then glued it on top. Dalla also found a daisy that she wanted to use for the doorknob.



After the completion of the house, Dalla also drew a Little Pig and the Big Bad Wolf on Metallic Card/Foam. We then glued them onto some old ice block sticks, so that they can be used for pretend play.


If you look carefully at the Wolf, you will see the extra sharp teeth that Dalla has drawn.

Overall, Dalla had a lot of fun making her House of Sticks!

Fun times for Grace and her family.

 Grace was so keen to get on her new trampoline for a bounce with her little sister Violet that they were both on it before daddy had time to finish putting the net and the green slide on. 




Dalla's learning about rectangle shapes

 Dalla spent one evening last week trying to find items in a rectangular shape - these are a couple of pictures of what she found up at our Whare.



Last week, we went exploring in the bush trying to find gold (we didn't find any). 

Dalla was very excited to be out and about and enjoyed having a look in her backyard

.Dalla also decided that she wanted to be a superhero, so she dressed up in her costume before carrying on to do her school work.
