Subject: Go out, go see and do

Dear friend,

The colder weather might make you want to stay in, but don't. Wrap up in layers of warm clothing and get moving with your kids - it will warm you up, produce happy hormones called endorphins to cheer you up and get you doing things together, learning and making memories!

In fact, if you are in the Free State this week-end, we recommend you support the Bloemfontein Homeschool Expo.

Linnie Lues will be representing Footprints there and she can show you all our beautiful programmes and she's Afrikaans (unlike the two of us, who prefer to speak the "rooi taal"!)

Celebrate 20 years with an "edible book" competition

Chef's - get your baking hats on! We are celebrating 20 years of South African literature based learning in our country with Footprints on Our Land.
We have 3 fabulous book packs to give away to the 3 edible book entries that get the most votes.
Your child must make or bake something edible to represent ANY of their favourite books, it does not need to be SA literature.

For example, you could make

a liquorice spider on a Marie biscuit to represent Charlotte's Web, or
a mountain cake topped with snow to represent Heidi or
a clockface to represent Corrie Ten Boom's The Hiding Place...
or to be unconventional, you could simply post a picture of a can of Red Bull for Fly, Eagle, Fly ...because, you know, "it gives you wings"!!!

Get your ideas flowing! Sweet or savoury or even in a can - as long as its edible!

Pop a photo of your child's creation in an email or on our Footprints Facebook group before the end of May and you can be a winner.

How's your Nature Study going?

We've studied birds, a few weeds and flowers was the theme for May. Be sure to sign up for our free Nature Study Made Easy email course - at the bottom of this page and join our Footprints support group on Facebook to be part of the monthly challenge. The aim is to inspire us all to get out more and appreciate nature. Join us to see what's next in the month of June!

Regards
Shirley and Wendy
