We came back this week, after having to take a surprise, one week, hiatus, following the early arrival of daughter number two. Florence was born on Sunday morning so there was no way of getting out to the woods the next day. In fact, I don’t think I even left the house until Wednesday and that was to take child one out to a toddlers group and give Mum a bit of a chance to sleep whilst the baby was.
Our focus this week was bugs so we started by getting ourselves warmed up with a bug hunt.
We searched under rocks…
and inside logs…
to see the different bugs to live in those different habitats.
We also looked under some dead bark to see what lived there.
After all that, we needed a bit of a rest so we read about some bugs…
and ate some cake.
It’s always nice to see your own daughter waiting until she’s offered. Today is not that day.
After all that, we got to know the different trees, and the varying textures of their bark, by doing some tree rubbings.
And there we go. That’s our weekly round up.
We have four weeks left of this run of Tiny Acorns. The next block of six will begin on March 11th.
If you’d like to get your child involved, why not drop us a message and we’ll get you signed up.
