Spring fun day and horse-cows

Today, I visited nursery with Thing 2, for a spring fun day open afternoon. She was exceptionally giddy to have me in school.

We stuck lots of shiny bits onto a picture of The Rainbow fish. Then I was dragged outside by a hyper Thing, who showed me the sandpit, the flowers, the willow tunnel, the tyres; bouncing from one to the next like a pinball.
We were then to go into the forest school, first to go on a bear hunt (seeking out cuddly bears) and then finding items from a list and placing them in an envelope; dandelions, pine cones, feathers, daisies, leaves and much more. Thing 2's attention stopped at the words; feathers and pine cones. We ended up with an envelope just of these items.... Lots of these items; which we were then lucky enough to get to take home! (Yes, I said that through gritted teeth!)

Upon our return to the classroom, we ogled the tadpoles and then made puppies from the playdough (quite actually the most amazing playdough EVER! - it was full of glitter and smelt of mints! I'm amazed Thing 2 hadn't tried to eat it..... I'm amazed that I didn't try to eat it!).

Thing 2 was eager to get on with tidy up time and so decided, once she'd finished with the playdough, then she would begin tidying stuff away.... Even if someone was still playing with it.... Because that's how tidy Things roll!


We got to leave early, although we didn't take Thing 1 early as he had an after school club to go to. So me and Thing 2 had a nice stroll home together. thing 2's day was quite possibly made awesome when she spotted a 'horse-cow' in a field we were passing. Oh how pleased she was.

And, an improvement on last time we attended an activity day at nursery.... We didn't come home with any items that should've remained at school! Result!
