TuTu is looking out of the window but all she can see is mist.
But a misty day can be a source of inspiration to an artist says Freddie.
Watch the video and see what happened.
It’s Sunday Challenge time 7th February
Maisie, Freddie and Lorenzo present their pictures from the last challenge and introduce this weeks’s activity and a new game.
Beacons to unite the planet
Like everything in Singapore the Art Exhibits are enormous, colourful and striking . They have to be to avoid being lost amongst the huge and spectacular skyscrapers!
I was really upset when the friendly and colourful 'Hippo' pieces disappeared. They were fun and I really liked them!
They have been replaced by incredibly beautiful and equally colourful 'flower' exhibits in fibreglass by world renowned artist Ana Tzarev.
The collection is named 'Spring in the City' and the objective behind the pieces is to unite the world. Ana believes that art acts like a bridge by which to connect the world. She hopes that the flowers will act like beacons across the planet to bring people together and I think this is such a lovely idea.

Lizzie Witch introduces a novel way of mixing colours and making a rainbow.
We advice adult supervision for this activity.
Are you sitting comfortably … then I’ll begin
What are you doing today? Maybe you can write a little story like Maisie? You can use drawings to tell your story or ask a grown up to write it down for you.
Are you sitting comfortably?
Then Maisie Jumble will tell you the Jumble Story.
Children are encouraged to make up stories and record them just like Maisie has.

On the 8th of February it is the beginning of the biggest festival in the Chinese Calendar. Chinese New Year when a fifth of the world’s population will celebrate with food and firecrackers and parades and music and, of course the very special lion and dragon dances.
China Town is always s feast of colour, music, light, food and delicious smells but as it nears to Chinese New Year well, it nearly explodes!
Take a look at the video below and come back at the weekend to see the spectacular decorations.
