We built a jumping place.

We took turns at jumping over it.

“Look how peerie da water beads are noo!”

We painted some Autumn trees

We found a big puddle. We jumped in it.

It was even big enough for the duck to swim in.

We’ve had a bit of a musical theme going on today.

We learned about symmetry today when we painted butterflies for our Elmer wall display.

We painted some small butterflies and some very large butterflies!

Oliver made some vegetable soup in the playhouse outside.

“What can I cook now?”

“I want tae mak more butterflies.”

“Can I have some water to make a cup of tea?”
