Number line

Introducing numbers for Ds. Dd drew pictures and asked how many we had of that thing.
DS tried to move the cat into line but he was not willing
 How many chickens 
how many giraffe 
How many cars
how many shoes.,, dd piped up and said that was not an equal number do she had to re count but DS was right...one was missing

We have a few swings round our place

 We love chipmunks but only during school time so these two can have it all to themselves
 Great Nana and Granddad came too

Grandpa has a pond...and catch n release eels.
 Grannies sheep

The Jane Gifford...had a long trip on that...but DS saw the cement works...
 So we had to spend time there


Bubbles at the caves with Playcentre friends


Swimming lessons for DS


DD sets up a market stall

This was a part of OM...which kind of extended

 Hummm not sure about this...DS despaired with these and came back eating passion fruit

Cat on climbing frame...is often a part of our school day

DD and DS are so proud to finally have 1 chick hatch. This is Sheldon...they want a rooster

DD working our OSCAR juicer and juicing her carrots that she grew in the garden...this is after DS spent most of the day pulling them and eating them on the spot.

DS's best friends 4th birthday party....lots of kids and a bouncy castle.

Harvest gathering...always a wonderful day where we all come together and share food which we've grown. Show our art works and have a good time.

 Some amazing work by friends which DD was really impressed with.


Maths in the Garden...love this book. DD is working out averages. How many seeds in a tomato. First guess was 10..then second was 80... finally she stuck around around 100 which was the best.
 DD insisted that she work with her chickens today
 While DD is working on tomato seed averages. DS is working on balance...was a bit scary at times but this game has gone on for about a month.

Cousins are here staying with G+G
