Family Hide and Seek in the Wood…

Feels free and unexpected and really good!

We played in many different ways

and had great chats sitting in the shade.

First we warmed up with a song

Then made our bodies thin and long

Round and bouncy

Jelly like

Strong as giants

Feather light

Everyone dressed up in different ways

We had a fairy who learns how to twirl

A fairy who eats bugs

We had a bumblebee living in a tree

We had a dragon fly and a ladybird turning into a spider with a pink web!

Zara the Butterfly and Kim the Butterfly had a rivalry…ooh!

Rosy Butterfly liked to EAT caterpillars

Then there was the French Chef Marcell who made delicious dishes as well

Muhammed the Genie’s friend could ask the Genie for 3 wishes

And not far away were Blue Fish Ammar and a Blue Bottle Fly

A Larvae that was yet to evolve, wanted to grow into a cricket. Muhammed the Genie’s friend helped her get her wish, and a cricket she became!

And finally a Goblin and a French Pirate…

Joined us for our games!

We danced and made up funny rhymes,

with animals stinky and silly and wild!

We let loose in the children’s wood,

making fries, steak and noodles in the mud kitchen.

We climbed on the tightrope and the bouncy web.

And played in the sand with lots of new friends.

We came back together for Hide and Seek.

We searched for each other among the trees

We ate some eggs and bread and cheese

We saw some lovely bumble bees!

What a fine and happy time, I want to come here all the time!
