got home from work to find SB and Chris engaged in the longest ever maths sum [46-18 I think!!]. I don’t think they had spent all 90 minutes on that one sum though! There had been a bit of a lie in and some painting and some tidying I believe, the a romp to the doctors about BB’s eczema-ish dribble chin, for which we have a steroid and antifungal cream. She’s had it on and off for a while, but just looking work at the moment.
Oh, and BB – what on earth are we going to do at Melrose about her potty training – it is going to be a nightmare unless we persuade her to use nappies, and that seems very retrograde. Though today has not been a good day!
Actually, for SB I think we need to work on number bonds again for a bit, as its 6-4 of it that often gets her.
Anyway, BB then went for her pneumovacc and SB and I finished the grape and spare redcurrent jelly. She then did lots of colouring in of her roman SOTW sheets. including a map of roman control at julius caesar. i remembered about our roman emperor book, and read from that about julius[we had already done the sotw chapter] she – thank goodness – could tell me rome fought cathage – wayhay – as she did the hannibal maze!
She wants to learn about lions this week – so rootled through the shelves to find likely lion books. I was wondering whether we could have a proto try at a baby lapbook??? [a real home-edder!!!!] partly cos I was so impressed at Kath and M’s. I am going to try and sort the desk for her tomorrow.
She has done some listening to little toe, and showing BB various websites. BB has been gorgeous, mostly running about, dancing [weeing] and had an early restorative bath to get her to bedtime! She really is adorable, even when she wee’s on you! [oopsie]
SB had a slightly later bedtime, as we did more of that jungala ello, which we are both finding fun. [design and technology!]
lapbooking is lots of fun and very addictive! when we first started I downloaded a couple of units from http://www.handsofachild.com to give us inspiration. Don’t know if they have anything on lions but it might be worth a look. have you tried the hannibal flip book from sotw? that is our challenge for tomorrow. We should start a sotw activity group and get together once a month to do the activities from the chapters we have covered.
we did the hannibal flip book [when i worked out what it was] very cool!
it would be nice to regularly get together and do some of the activities, as some are a bit cahllenging for me to do at last minute, and If i just had to organise one…
