| Imagination |
It’s been mid-term over here in Ireland this week and after
week filled with trips out, going on playdates, catching up with the cleaning,
referring the kids arguments, attempting to do some baking and trying to fit in
a rest, it is safe to say that we are all ready to get back to school on Monday
(well some more than others!).

We have chosen Imagination as our word of the week, as it
has been a recurrent theme running through many of our mid-term
activities.

Been to the Cinema
A trip out to see the new “Shaun the Sheep Movie” on
Wednesday really captured the boys imaginations. It was a great story and very
well done. It had something to please us, which is always good when sitting
through a children’s films, especially as we were right at the very front!

Did some painting
We took the paints out for an impromptu creative session on Wednesday.
Instead of working to a particular theme or outcome the kids had free reign to
paint whatever they wanted. We do love our structured arts and crafts, but it
is also great to just let them paint and see what they come up with.
