19. Silhouette #1 (The most glorious day in weeks and we met up with my brother, sister-in-law and their daughter further along the coastline to spend the afternoon at Ogmore Beach fossil hunting. We even had a picnic on the rocks with a blazing sun overheard and minimal breeze to drop the temperature.)
20. Silhouette #2 (An after school trip down to the nature reserve to feed the swans, and the sunset cast an impressive backdrop.)
21. Scarecrow (The Boy was very keen to do some painting, specifically mixing brown. Once he'd not quite managed to do that, he decided to paint a scarecrow. I'm not entirely sure that this is a particularly effective scarecrow, but hey-ho!)
22. Froggy Legs (The Boy has brought home spellings for each week, his school uses the 'Look, Cover, Write, Check' method which he seems very happy with and he was keen to make a start on them.)
23. Numicon (I've borrowed a maths resource from school which The Boy absolutely loves. Numicon helps to develop number bonds, counting and adding skills. If anyone is looking for something like this for their child then, while pricey, I'd really recommend it.)
24. Maestro (I had to go to the dental hospital today for a root extraction from a botched molar extraction 16 months ago; they snapped off the fourth root but as most molars only have three they didn't think to check for a fourth. By the time I'd arrived home I wasn't fit for much but managed to sneak a picture of The Boy playing on the piano before bedtime.)
25. Mad Science (We finally managed to have a go this afternoon at a science activity that I've wanted to try for ages, more on the blog next week!)

Wonderful photos, especially the one where the boy is feeding the swans. I hope you're pain free now and feeling better, sounds like a painful procedure!
I love the look of concentration on his face doing the experiment. The swan pic is gorgeous too, love the changing light. Looks like a busy week xx
Gorgeous, I love the swan feeding photo.
Look at his face whilst writing!! He seems to thriving at school yes? Numicon is great and one of those resources you find in school stashed away on shelves completely under used. *shakes head*
Your photos are stunning 🙂 I am so jealous. Love the photo of the Boy with the swans.
Gorgeous photos – love the silhouettes. Sounds like your extraction was painful. Hope the recovery is fairly swift.
Your silhouette picture is fantastic! We were just saying today it's so nice that the days are getting longer again. Is this your last visit to the dentist for a while? Good news if it is!
Fantastic photos and hope you're feeling better. I love the scarecrow picture and the beach pictures are just fab 🙂
Beautiful as always. He is very focused on his activities. Looking forward to hear about mad science. What's wrong with the scarecrow? Teehee I'm all about process rather than outcome 🙂
Ohh the boy is brave with those swans, love the silhouette shots. Mich x
Love the swan shot – that maths thing looks intriguing, might have a look for it 🙂
you capture the sun brilliantly!!! x
Love the top two shots with the sun, beautiful. It's hard to get the sun looking that good! Lovely to see concentration on The Boy's face in the other photos.
Lovely photo's from the week, loving the feeding swan photos. Great light x
OMG. Your photo's are fab! Especially the 1st two! Just stunning!!
Wow the first picnic of the year! Numicon looks fab and can't wait to see more on science experiment. Lovely pictures!
impressed with all the protective clothing, look forward to reading the blog post. That scarecrow is very impressive. I like the holding hands in the silhouette.
Fabulous photos – absolutely love the first two especially. Mind you the piano one is rather lovely too. I hope you're not feeling too ropey 🙂
This selection of photos really gets across a great selection of learning and fun too. Love the first one in particular.
Wonderful silhouette pictures. I also love the concentration on the boys face when he is writing, brilliant.

Aww a picnic already! Sounds lovely 🙂 Love the piano shot, and concentration faces hehe x
Love the silhouette pictures – especially the swans (so brave!) That number thing looks good and your science pics remind me we need to do some of Bigger Miss's science kit she got for Christmas
The feeding the swan photo is gorgeous! And I love how you've shown with the photos all the different sides of the boy – an artist, a mathematician, a scientist and even a musician!
Love the photo of the boy feeding the ducks 🙂
Those top 2 shots are just stunning, and I love the mad science get-up – hope it was fun!
Those first two pictures are stunning! Very jealous that you've managed an outdoor picnic already!

Your little scientist looks do cute in those goggles. Love both the silhouette photos but you know I'm a sucker for them! Hope you are feeling better and well rid if that fourth root! X
So lovely to see sunny photos especially this time of the year!
I always like seeing your photos. The Boy looks as though he is always having a great time!
Wonderful, watching your photography grow is awesome x
Great idea doing science experiments, I want to do some with 6yo
The lighting in the first two is stunning!
Looks like the boy had plenty if fun this week. x
That's exactly the kind of light I was trying to work with a couple of weeks back. You've done a fab job!
Beautiful as always, I particularly love the swans. It is my mission this week(!) to try and take a nice silhouette!
I LOVE the first photo!
Wow, the boy always has such interesting activities to get up to.
Love the sun/silhouette photos. Photos always seem so hopeful and happy when the suns behind the subject
Gorgeous photos. Those swans look really brave being that close!

Absolutely love the first 2 photos!
Loving all the activities. It's great that he still gets so many interesting things to do at home even now he's at school.
Yipes! That molar incident sounds painful! But your picture for the day was awesome. I especially like the pic of your boy and the swans.
beautiful photos as always – i especlally love the first two with the sunlight streaming through and the water.
bit of a bugger about your trip to the dentist eeeek but well done as i know how of an ordeal it is for you x
Really gorgeous shots – hurrah for winter beach trips and such concentration – he is a star!
The top picture is stunning.
I've never heard of Numicon but it looks very interesting.
Great photos, mad science is sounding exciting! my 6 year old would love to get all dressed up and try out some experiments 🙂
Wonderful pictures! I love the silhouette pictures, both beautiful!
Still in awe of your beach pics and adore the one of the boy in his safety goggles
Just love these, especially the 2nd one feeding the ducks/gesse!
Great photo! Love the swans and the little scientist!!
Love the first photo!
What is that in the first photo? It would make a brilliant header.
I really want to get Aly excited with science but at the moment she has no interest.
The Boy's scarecrow is excellent, and I love the silhouette shots. They are beautiful
