What the sparrows get up to together..... Gabe made this Playmobil setup that he called "The Battle for the Lost Island". He took an hour painstakingly putting it together for his brothers to play with, it filled the lounge and looked like a shop window display. They played for 2 hours with it.

We bought some threadable letters, which have gone down a treat.

And we completed our Monet masterpieces. A friend lent us her extensive set of soft pastels, which were wonderful to use. Jesses' version of Monet's garden and bridge was so beautifully interpreted and he really concentrated. I had them fill the page with background colour before they put in their focal points; the bridge and the haystack. They enjoyed using the pastels and using their fingers to change and smudge the lines they made

I got to do one myself, it was fun!
