Now this is what dramatic play looks like in November. Imagine a Native American village.
Weedon Island
What a wonderful time we had together at Weedon Island last Thursday! Many thanks to our guide Ms. Emma who took the time to show us EVERYTHING! She was very enthusiastic and the children really enjoyed seeing all the sights and hearing about them too. It was the perfect way to wrap up our "Living Off The Land" study!
