esther and i spent most of today attempting to build a trebuchet. we went to a craft shop early in the day to get various bits, then went back later in the day for some more bits, and then went back again later for even more bits.
we’d managed to cobble together the basic structure, but then once we added the weight it all came apart and it was just too powerful!
so we’ve abandoned the project and esther has another plan for her homework project instead which just involves a bottle top, superglue, a balloon and a cd.
but we had a bit of fun constructing what we did.
jane did various school works and house works and kezia went to ice skating with her friend.
so much for a quiet day
