Hand tree ball game

Hi there
On our walk this morning to take the dogs out we have been playing a family game... hand tree ball! The idea is we have to tap a tree with the ball. If the opposition touch you you have to pass the ball to the opposing team. So today team Sam and Jack beat team mum and dad fair and square!
Thanks
Lou, Sam, Jack and Matt

Ella's Six Sentence Story

Once upon a time there was a mermaid called Summer      She lived in a coral land with a thousand sisters.    Summer had the power to make the ocean beautiful. But one day Summer could no longer make the ocean beautiful because humans were putting rubbish in the water. Summer has to see a King for a new power to make the ocean rubbish free and beautiful again. The king gave Summer this power and the ocean was beautiful and clean again.
