later that same day ......

After rounding off the trip to the Ashcroft Centre with a trip to the playground and then dropping Susie & Hannah off at the train station, we headed for home.

Tess got the microscope out and she and Brodie looked at leaves, a feather, bread and hair....

The feather was the most successful item .....

Then we did a bit of classic music, dancing to The Beatles. We started with Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, which we had sung in assembly at Inwoods on Friday, and moved on through the collection (including many repeats of Yellow Submarine, as you can imagine!) ......

I attempted to organise our making things/recycling stocks into a temporary home to make it all more accessible for Tess & Brodie .......

But as quickly as I was sorting things into different drawers, they were pulling them out again and coming up with things to make with them ......

Finally, Brodie sat himself down and wrote/drew a story in his notebook, narrating to himself as he went .....

..... apparently it was about 4 people called Coolee, Bongee, Wongee and Boolee (I think!), who went camping .......

Not to be outdone, Tess raided the making things supplies again and made a scene and a story: 'The little girl had a grandma and a mummy. The little girl had a secret garden. The End' ......
