sunny pi

laburnum and rhododendrons

Had a different school experience this morning. A whole load of people walked up the track, adults and teens – a school trip here? We see about one person in three weeks on the track and it’s private land so it seemed a bit unlikely, however it was. Must have been from a local special needs school I think. The teacher stopped by many of our trees and bushes and told the students all about them – big warning by the laburnum. Then they continued up to the loch… looked a nice trip, can’t think where they could have parked a bus though. Were half a mile up a single track with no parking nearby on the road anyway.

Had a nice sunny day at the park with friends today – much playing and chinwagging. Got some lovely locally grown strawbs too – very scrummy. Done some fun bits with pi (no actual pie as yet) – these are fab songs, very amusing :) There’s quite a few interesting items on this pi-enthused site: Pi-Land - we looked at the art, poetry and pi up to a million digits after the decimal point. Listened to the 1812 Overture – all loved the cannons and the history of that. Kids wrote a really good story seen through the eyes of an animal – inspired by the audiobook from last week. Daniel had a father dragon telling his son a story from the past – was quite impressed with that as he often finds this kind of thing tricky. His story is going to be in three big parts seen through the eyes of different creatures so he’s not finished. Gone is the idea of ‘getting it done quick is best’ – I’m so glad :) Charlotte’s is a royal history with many babies told by a cat. Bike rides of an increasing wetness have been had – should be drying up again now, so out we go
