Caterpillars at the Keynsham Food Festival

Two happy customers

Last Saturday we tagged along the Transition Keynsham stall and had lots of fun planting cress seeds in eggshells, kindly provided by Sheila!

How are your seeds doing? Do you have any photos of your cress to email us for the blog?

Would you like to see a Family Yoga class run in Keynsham?

A few of us are interested but we still need more joiners to make this viable - we need enough people to split the cost of the yoga teacher and the hall hire, and make it affordable! If you are interested in attending Family Yoga classes in Keynsham regularly, please contact keynsham.caterpillars@gmail.com.

Logo Competition Winner unveiled!

Have you seen our new, shiny, fabulously colourful logo? Liam Prosser, aged 5, is the winner of the Keynsham Caterpillars Logo Competition. Four local impartial judges couldn't resist such a lovely colourful smiley caterpillar and too right, it is a lovely drawing! Designer Lucie has worked her magic to turn Liam's drawing into a leaf logo four our group. Thank you both, well done!
Many other very talented children participated in the Logo Competition and they also produced beautiful drawings, they are all proudly displayed online in the Logo Competition Gallery.

Caterpillars Parents Meeting, 27th September 0930-1130

** Please note this meeting will now take place 0930-1130 at the Keynsham Children's Centre in Rock Road **

The Children's Centre are kindly letting us have a room for this meeting, so that we don't have to be all squashed in Caterpillars HQ during the colder months when we can't be out in the garden. Thank you so much Children's Centre!!

If you are a local parent keen to discuss greener ways to bring up our children join us! We will discuss eco friendly parenting issues and future Caterpillars initiatives and events. Or simply join us to meet like-minded parents, everybody is welcome. Tea will be available, perhaps cake. Please email Monica keynsham.caterpillars@gmail.com for details of location. Well behaved children very welcome.

Eco Friendly Parties for All

I have a couple of birthdays in the family this month, and this time of the year always makes me think of whether we sometimes go a bit over the top with children's parties. Have a look at the Eco Friendly Parties for All page for some tips on throwing a brilliant eco friendly party! Don't forget, we can all make it, it's easier than you think!
