Afternoon Tea

Quiet time at our house finishes at 3pm and we celebrate by having afternoon tea. We all sit at the table together and have something to eat and drink. The kids LOVE their tea time. Sometimes we have hot chocolate and cake, other times it is fruit and water but it is always together and always with a smile :)

We have been working on pegging a habit to afternoon tea, the art of clearing the dishes from the table. So far so good. Once that habit is down I plan to peg a read aloud and eventually a short activity like picture study, composer study etc.
