Going to the market

Today we went to the market in Samatan. We went into a big shed and saw lots of ducks and chickens. I wanted to bring a chicken home as Daddy likes pets. Mummy said I couldn't have one. The animals were very cute. We took some photos but got told off by a grumpy French lady who held up a no camera sign and frowned at us - oops!






Then, we went outside and looked at all the beautiful market stalls. We found a nice cafe but they didn't have coke so I had to have fanta instead.



The society for the protection of animals was there and I was allowed to pat the kids.

All the yummy things that we bought.

The Three Billy Goats Gruff

Today I made a diorama from an old shoebox and some marionettes for the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff.  Mum and I had lots of fun trying to work out how to make the puppets!

We then used the puppets to perform our play.  I liked being the grumpy old troll even though the big billy goat gruff tossed me off the bridge.

The Three little pigs

I am learning about fairy tales and one of my favourites is the three little pigs.  Today Mum and I made sock puppets and then acted it out.  We had lots of fun.  The wolf was very silly.

Lunch and Museum

Friday Tess and I went to the museum of natural history in Toulouse. The whole day was very fun, and a lot.

The day started with a quick stop in the mediatheque, where there was a Nino Ferrer exhibition, after some fun there we were off to lunch.





Cute pose!

Being silly like always.

Some minerals glow in black light, just like I did!


Then we moved onto wildlife.


There was so much to see!











Amazing butterfly's and moths.



It was an amazing day! We saw so much and didn't even get to see it all, And I really want to go back again.

Pot au Feu

Today we are making a traditional French stew called a pot au feu.




These are the veggies!



Here is everything that has to fit in the pot. We even got beef tail!


It's a tight squeeze! Now we let it simmer for around 3 hours, maybe even a little more. Tonight, we will have a French dinner!

Next we decided to make our favourite apple crumble!
