For some reason each year we always organize and activity...don't mind really as it's been kinda fun doing it..I felt pretty good about this years as a lot of effort went into it...it was a treasure hunt first for the younger ones ...we seperated all the children into groups with an adult in charge of each group...the adult was not to do it for them but only to guide them...Tony had drawn a map with a pathway marked into the Reserve across the road..... there were five envelopes that were to be picked up along the way......the clue read something like ....Lots of little hills which one could it be behind......or Buzz Buzz.... Now all of them know that on the track that we usually walk on there is a tree that always has had bees in and beside that tree there lay a log...which this first photo depicts....if you look to the left of this photo you will see a white envelope under the bark..that was clue number two.....another one which was tricky for some was.... Many honky nuts on this bend.....it was a little tree with an abundance of honky nuts ..We did forget though that Sione didn't even know what honky nuts were!!!! Tony hung the envelopes on the branch of this tree.....and so on....each envelope had part of a jigsaw puzzle inside and each piece of jigsaw had a letter on it...when all the envelopes had been gathered and they had completed a service project which was to wash down the Chinese Rotunda in the Cemetry...the one we always sit in when we complete our walk and after making a paper aeroplane and seeing how far they could fly it.....they were to come back here to our home and work out what the sentence said......... tell you in the next entry....oh by the way Rebecca had found out that we had the camera on the wrong setting so photo's are now normal
I love the way the biggies are holding & helping the littlies xxx
