WOYWW

 Happy WOYWW everyone.

This week I seem to have been busy with all sorts of fun activities including Nanny duties 

We had a great day out in Manchester, taking the train and visiting various museums. The hands on activities in the Science and Industry Museum were fun. Ben enjoyed having a go on each of around thirty activities. 


We used his drawing board to list all we had seen. 


Then he used it to sketch this. ..


He says there are about six different animals within this. Can you spot them all?

Elephant, snake, squirrel, tortoise, bear and whale?


When he came to stay, he brought his Home Bargains table tennis net, bat and balls. Of course we don't have a table tennis table but G used a piece of board and transformed the patio table so we could play a ping pong tournament.🏓 Much fun was had by all.

So that's me for this week. No crafting but lots of fun!

Enjoy the sunshine.

Manchester Science Museum is a fabulous place - full of interactive games whilst providing a valuable learning tool. I just wish more people knew of it and visited. Ideal to take the kids during the summer holidays. When we changed over to 'technology' at school we had a trip there with our faculty and had a great day out. Gosh that is many many years ago.
Love the table tennis table - clever idea.
Still looking for the whale.

Our lads enjoyed the Manchester science museum too, that was a few years ago though! I liked Ben’s drawing very much, that’s so clever and it was great to see the Make Do and Mend table tennis, we do have a proper table in the garage and love playing, though not quite up to the standard of the Olympic teams, how they see the ball is beyond me!

I enjoyed trying to find those animals - what a great (and quiet!) game he's invented there! Sending everyone a peaceful week, Lisa-Jane #12 www.prettymypage.co.uk

Well, the snake, elephant, bear and squirrel (except I thought it was a cat!) I spotted straight away. Then I thought I could see a penguin🧐, I read a bit further and saw the list and found the tortoise, I think I see the whale, but not if it’s a whole one 🤣. Great fun! Happy WOYWW. Angela #11

That's so cool and you can't beat a science museum, we used to love going to the one in London. A great transformation too and they look like they are having so much fun with that great bargain of a set you bought! Have a great rest of the weekend Michelle#13
