this week at inwoods

This week at Inwoods, Tess decorated a mug and did some artwork using chalks and paint. In cooking, she made some delicious bread, which she later devoured. In dance & movement, the group started to learn the cha cha cha, which Tess really enjoyed.

Tess allowing Brodie to taste a tiny (and I mean tiny!) morsel of the bread that she baked.....

In the morning, the whole school walks the three-quarters of a mile to Inwoods from the affiliated Brockwood Park school site. We had left the campervan at Brockwood Park during the day, and I was slightly dreading the walk back at the end of the day, with 2 tired children. However, we had a lovely time - Tess & Brodie stopped at every single blackberry bush and got their fill of vitamin C! .......

... and we collected some lovely golden leaves and a seed head to use as part of our Autumn display (we found the conkers at the Not Back to School picnic earlier in the week) ....

Tess is loving her day at Inwoods each week, but has not felt confident enough so far to spend time there without me being close by. If over the coming weeks, she doesn't feel that she can do that, then we will have to change our plan for her to spend Fridays there. This will be a shame as it's a lovely place and she does enjoy it. However, if she's not ready for it yet, then it would be better to stop and revisit the idea in a year or so.
