As you may already know, Gerald LeMesurier, (Ollie's) Dad built us this amazing Carpentry Hut. Not only that, he has been teaching us how to use the tools appropriately and given us projects to work on.
The first project was to make fishing lines using soup tins - very inspired.
Currently we are cutting up timber to build small boxes that we can fill with clay. Once this is completed we make impressions in the clay, e.g. hand prints, nuts and bolts, etc., AND then we fill the impressions up with Plaster of Paris - watch out for amazing creations coming your way!
Today we travelled by bus to MOTAT, along with our friends from the Kinross Street Centre, to see all kinds of transport.
This was a special trip for our 4 year old children, and we call this outing "Lunch Box Day", because the children had to carry their own lunches and be responsible for eating properly, getting ready for school.
At first we looked all around the main section of MOTAT and then we travelled to the Hanger section on Meola Road, where we ate our lunch.
This was a fantastic trip and although 
it was overcast, the weather couldn't have been better.
We eventually walked back down to Great North Road to catch the bus home.
What a wonderful day we had, the children were great and we were pleasantly surprised at how fast the day went.
Check out the photo display in the Centre to get more of an idea on what we covered.
