February Half Term
















Ben, Claire, Thomas and Sophie have just spent three wet, chilly, half term days with us at Pippin Cottage. Because of the weather, indoor activities were high on the agenda. At home we played hide and seek, chickenfoot, animal vegetable or mineral and other games. On Monday we visited the Tutenkhamun Museum in Dorchester and then drove to Cerne Abbas, where we could not see the legendary giant carved into the hillside because of the rain and mist. We played badminton in sports centres in Sherborne and Wincanton and early one evening I went with Thomas and Sophie to Yeovil Cinema to see the film "Yogi Bear" in 3D - it was great. At the same time Ben and Claire saw the film "The King's Speech" and very much enjoyed it. Afterwards I watched a Peppa Pig DVD at home with Sophie and fell asleep - it was not as exciting as Yogi bear! But the rain did stop long enough for us to enjoy a game of football on the Millennium Green - the photos show Thomas and Sophie going for goal and having a conference with their team-mate, Jenny.
