Day trip to China

Thanks to people being kind enough to give us lifts, we were able to get to our home ed group today
:-)

 This one is actually quite close to where we live, about 1 1/2 miles walk (ish...I'm never very good at gauging distance!) It's a steep hill, but it's an easy enough walk usually, not with a silly toe though, and there is no bus service from here to there without having to go all the way into town first...which is just ridiculous and I refuse to do it on principle!...so only having to put a boot on to walk from my door to a car and from a car into the hall (and in reverse again later) was very welcome :-)

The theme for today was 'China', and it was quite a busy session - 12 families I think, about 25 children,

and lots of activities on offer.
 We took along Chi's Chinese calligraphy set that we got when we were doing our Around The World stuff...

 ...there was also food to taste...

...mah jong, Chinese zodiac activities, lantern making, dressing up, Great Wall building, words and books and stories, and even pandas...
