Chalky & Co.

Outside Artwork

It was fine weather so the boys spent several hours outside this afternoon. Chalks in various colours were handed out for freestyle artwork. This is D's chalk drawing of the Iron Man (after the Ted Hughes' story of the same name) who 'might come alive at night' according to D.


By contrast, M. wanted to play dead. He fell off the roof, apparently. Hence the chalk outline, drawn by D. -- M. kept wriggling so it's a bit wobbly in places. They have a macabre sense of humour.

Garden Sports

M & D have only recently mastered the tricky art of hopping with both feet together. Their little sister does an odd sort of trot instead, but tries to keep up with her brothers. To encourage them all to practise two-foot hopping, they did some hopping in and out of hoops on the grass first, then took part in a sack race.

M. won. He always does!
