33 things to do before you’re 10

The End

August 18, 2008 – 10:20 am

After 17 months, the project is finally complete! Not every task has been successful but we’ve given them all a good go. My personal favourite was rolling down the grassy hill, apart from the big rash that appeared on my arms and legs! I also liked doing the mini assault course and burying Ben in the sand.

Making some brightly coloured kites

August 2, 2008 – 7:32 pm

This is the final task from the 33 things list! To make and fly a kite. We found some comprehensive instructions on how to make a kite here:
http://www.skratch-pad.com/kites/make.html

We used some thick, extremely fluorescent coloured paper as the “cover” for our kites. Other things you need for this task include glue, tape, long sticks (or in our case multiple coffee stirrers taped together), string, scissors and maybe a stapler. And some paint or pens to decorate it with. I finished my kite first and chose “THE BEST KITE IN THE WORLD!” as some decorative text. Tess then tried to upstage me by using “THE BEST KITE IN THE UNIVERSE” on hers!

Strawberry picking

July 21, 2008 – 8:57 am

We went to Crockford Bridge Farm, near Woking, to pick some fresh strawberries. We had to catch a train and were short of time so, because Tess wanted to cook a rhubarb crumble this week, she went off to pick some rhubarb while I picked strawberries with my parents.
