…got a cold and knackered, so today didn’t go too well, and eventually gave up and went to bed – so much for spending time with the beans. She got a parcel from my sister, so dressed up as a pirate, and used the painting set to paint flowers and shells – rather nicely.
Did do loads of reading library books before bailed out though, and when got up we did lots of lego games and stories.
SB went to a party at nursery thrown for the school leavers! I went to bed again. When she got back we did more lego, played outside – nice photos of her in bridesmaids dress [as this is now party dress] in the garden.
on coming in we did about 6 pages of primary 1a singapore maths weekly revision, including her actually spelling out and reading the word ten!! she is making a stab at writing the numbers, but I’m not pushing it. Also a bit of phonics cards.
She showed a fair bit of interest in the family geneology today, so we will sort out photos etc to do a family tree. Maybe I will buy katy’s timeline programme as well, and do a timeline family book. Have been thinking quite a bit about home ed and how to go on. I’m v happy with our dipping in and about approach in the main, but would like to build up a routine of normals, and also music regularly and the muzzy – which we forget now the telly in another room.
Also having looked at dottyspots blog, am interested in going to here probably on the sunday as sounds fun. [festival of History in English Heritage place in Northamptonshire of M1
BB certainly now really enjoying standing. Also musical toys, and those where you can press buttons. She is also drinking milk well from a bottle at last. of course this now gives us the problem that I’m not sure I can express enough, so may have to use formula partly on working days. Not that happy about that really.
Maybe I’m just knackerd and viral, but really feel my life just isn’t where I want it to be, and fairly powerless to change it. I’m going to have a good try though.
SB started another crystal experiment with me before i went to work yesterday. At this rate need to buy in bulk.
((Helen)) if your rota does not allow for Halloween party – or even if it does, we’d love to see you when you are free – a chance for Chris to get nostalgic about Sussex and us to have a conversation lasting more than 5 minutes
Hope the cold is not too lingering and is better tomorrow.
Oh, so maybe you’re where my sore throat has come from! Don’t worry – it was worth it!
oops, sorry joanna.
yes nic, somehow I don’t get chance to chat!
All that edu-stuff sounds great; hope you feel better soon.
