Our morning started outside while it was lovely an Our morning started outside while it was lovely and cool, we had instruments and building blocks with builders hats! 

This afternoon we enjoyed the eclipse space tray, I didn't get to many pictures as we just chilled out as it was warm. 

My plan was to add water when it got too hot and the children showed signs of they've finished. But this did not happen. They had a wonderful afternoon.

This morning we used what we had to block off the This morning we used what we had to block off the ramp as this is not yet complete, we also put the mats over the handrails to stop any splinters as we have not yet sanded them down. 

But we had a wonderful time in the new play area, we are so happy the children can all get outside independently! It definitely made getting outside a lot smoother and enjoyable for everyone. I even left the gate open so they were free to come in and out as they wish, although they all stayed out till lunch.

The second ramp was completed,  and the handrail on the top, the start of blocking the bottom to stop children hiding under the decking.

Now we need to wait for them to be able to return as this is taking longer than expected.

Happy with the progress made, although because of the complications with the ramp we will not see this finished tomorrow. And will need to wait a few weeks to have the it all completed. As they have another job booked in for the next 2 weeks. Hoping they can make its usable for us over the next few weeks even if its not completed
