Hello my childminding families 🤓. Ok. I have 1 week left before I do my sponsored swim for Dr. Kershaws charity.
Online we have £837 and in cash donations we have £145 total of £982. So very extremely close to our £1000 goal.
I know some have already donated and we thank you very much. ❤️🩵🧡
So just giving one last push.
1 mile swim. Lake Windermere. Myself. And my cousins Ann (aged 67 who’s husband died of cancer and they had Dr. Kershaws help at the end) and other cousin Scott aged 17.
Another practice swim this weekend and then boom. The Big Swim.
So if at all possible. If you can spare a couple of quid it would be greatly appreciated. But no pressure if you can’t.
Thanks for reading 🤓

What a fun busy day today we had.
Our book of the moment. Simon Sock is a good story. So, let’s match socks. Then match real socks (all mine all clean thank you 🤩). Then let’s work on fine motors skills and peg them up. Then create our own odd sock to put up in the window. Then think about the letter S for sock. What other words begin with S. It’s a long list 🤣🤓.

Our first visit to forest school today near our house. Fantastic time, albeit cold. Had so much fun in the mud kitchen. A story time. A walk around the orchard listening to the squelch squerch of the mud spotting the animals.
I got to hold a chicken today for the first time 🤓. We collected eggs and was given some to bring home. So Rosie wanted scrambled egg. So she helped make it.
