Thursday 30th April: Cold and grey today, a high of 10 degrees. Looking forward to the extra heat pump being fitted tomorrow so we'll be able to heat more than just the lounge!
In the morning we went to Playcentre. This is a NZ arrangement for children aged 0-6 and their parents. It's a bit like a toddler group would be in the UK but in their own building and with a qualified early years teacher to facilitate activities and learning plans. We have not been along before because obviously Edward is too old and omeschoolers have had a ccol reception in the past, but the current President and another committee member invited us along. The boys enjoyed 3 hours of playdough, constructing with boxes, story time and outdoor play. I was busy helping out and enjoyed a nice cup of tea.
After lunch we did some schooling, finishing up our current topics. Edward finished writing up about his Book Reader badge, his first Cub badge he has completed.
Tea was chicken and bacon pie and banana teabread and custard for pudding. Jeanette came in from next door to babysit while I went to TKD and Steve was on-call.
The photo is a piece of artwork the boys did recently, which is on our fridge door. It is a garden and used the sweet wrappers from a tin of chocolates we had at Christmas. Is that taking recycling a little too far???
