Next Saturday, we'll spend the day at the park. Mia will bring her spade, bucket and rake, and we'll leave early to make the most of it! First we'll go to the lake which is in the middle of the park. I'll take out the breadcrumbs that I'll have in my bag and we'll feed the ducks while eating our own ham sandwiches. Then we'll walk up to the playground where there's a big sandpit. Mia will build a beautiful sand castle while I read on a bench. Then we'll go home around 4pm.

Clever stuff happening!
