The blueberry and the beach...

Hello B week :)

I'll say sorry now for my lack of pictures, Ive been holding off blogging as i cant find my camera cable to add our lovely pics to the posts but I fear if I don't blog about B week before next week Ill forget what we did!

So the first day of B week, what a fun day! We are lucky enough to live, at most, 2 minutes walk from a gorgeous harbour & beach, so we decided to take a field trip and had a walk along the prom and investigated our local beach. The kids loved the chance to get up close and personal with all the different objects that had been washed up as it had been a long time since they had been able to do this since its been winter and too cold to really enjoy seaside walks!

They collected stones and sticks to throw off the bridge near the end of the walk, being careful not to hit any of the local ducks waiting patiently for the bread we had brought them. Feeding the ducks is always fun as they are so tame they come right up surrounding you and eat right out of your hand.

Whilst at the beach I took a sample of some sand for a project we will do later in the week, although i think this is something you aren't supposed to do so i wouldn't recommend it! ;)

Once we got home it was lunch time so we dealt with that and as it started raining just as we got home - thank goodness no earlier - we decided this afternoon would be the perfect afternoon to try out baking some blueberry muffins,they were so easy to make and tasted delicious. Will have to get the photos up when i get that cable looked out.

Along with these activities we also started off the day with the whiteboards practising how to write B and b. We also made a picture list of all the things we could think of that began with B and decided we would look out for these things throughout the week, K's idea! :D
