Playing with dinosaurs in the sand, digging, chalk drawing on the rocks, paddling in the stream and sea. Playing together with our friends.

They then got to choose a plant to bring back πŸͺ΄

On our walk on Friday, we picked and ate blackberries, ran across fields, made 'soup' in a hole in the path, filling it with stones and grass and found mole holes.
We jumped on dried mud and found fluffy seeds to blow.
