We had the game ‘Word Jungle’
embedded on this page,
but it was just TOO noisy.
Every time anyone opened our page,
they heard jungle drums
and monkeys chattering
and the neighbours were starting to complain 😉

and have fun 🙂

We enjoyed this charming eight minute short film today
about the fun a young boy has
playing with a cardboard box.
‘Adventures of a Cardboard Box‘

Afterwards we talked about
how many ways the hero of this story used the box.
We used clues in the story to guess in what country
this film was made.
We also touched on the theme of loss
and how happy memories can help us
when we remember people
and pets that we have lost.
