Term 2 week 10

This week we were both sick with the flu/cold. So unfortunately swimming lessons were cancelled. Zico still managed to get out riding and we made the most of the winter sunshine by visiting the hockey street playground afterwards. Zico has grown in confidence and delighted in playing a chasing game over the stepping stones with me.
We finished Matilda this week and watched the movie too, now we have started the BFG.

It was great to see Zico pick up some scissors this week and start exploring cutting by himself.
Zico had an eye appointment at the hospital and was brave enough to to sit in the chair all by himself for the first time.

Being cooped up at home has meant playing hide and seek and Zico found a good hiding place in the laundry basket. We have also played a family game of combined drawing of made up creatures which Zico adores!
Making use of journeys to places but playing talking books is still popular and this week we listened to the bubbling crocodile.

We made some playdough to play with too since we couldn't leave the house and give others our germs. Zico created a cool looking character.
Finally for the start of the holidays we got out to the Glenn and the beach where we played with sticks and fed the hungry seagulls.
