The Little House

We have read a book about a little house out in the country.  Gradually things change around the little house, the city grows bigger and crowds the little house, then cars, buses, and trains arrive.  The little house is lonely in the big city. One day the great granddaughter of therm who built the house came along, and bought the house, and moved the little house back into a green grassy field in the country.

I think the author is trying to tell us about how much things have changed.  Some things that have changed are that most people drive a car or ride public transport like buses or trains instead of getting a horse to pull them on a carriage.

Practising our 'Jaffa Dance'

This is the first time we tried on our red capes to practise the dance. Everyone seemed more energetic and focused wearing the capes, and did really well. 
We want to give Kerry, Anna, and Marguerite a BIG thank you for making the capes. They are sensational!
