Hello again,
My youngest child was 7 on Sunday and we had a North Amercian Indian party. It was fantastic fun. We split the children into two tribes and they proceeded through a number of tasks to try and win points. The winning tribe was the one with the most points at the end of the party. Tasks ranged from fire making (with flint starter kit available from outdoor shops), creating rain dance, war face painting, tomahawk making etc etc!
As a family the occasion got us thinking about the history of the North American Indians and we have been exploring this through the week. Of particular joy are the fantastic sayings that tribal Indians come up with and pass through the generations. The children are now creating their own and illustrating them.
Snow has stopped play today and we are already under 10cm and it is only 11am! Children have been out in it all morning - what fun!
More soon
