Can’t believe we are still getting a few sunny days!.  I have added a page to my blog called useful bits and pieces – this is where I have decided to list all my favourite and useful websites.  At the moment I don’t know how to make them clickable links but will resolve that as soon as I admit to my husband I’m clueless and feel in the mood to endure a lesson in computing (lol).

Anyway, the first in the list of this new page is for activity village, where yesterday I found a good idea for getting the children out and about enjoying the last sunny days, being environmentally friendly and kind to birds.  I think, if I remember, the craft is under the Autumn section.  Take the children out to search for pine cones, make a day of it with picnics or a type of treasure, or a competition to see who can find the most, the biggest, the most unusual etc.  Then turn the pine cones into bird feeders, using the instructions on activity village – I would list how to do it here but their website is brilliant to visit.

Keep an eye out as well for Autumn activities at places like the National Trust.
