so english to be pathetically glad about such a lovely day. but it was soooo lovely!! i had a lie in too – even lovelier! when i got up, the girls had been geomagging and playing with plasticine. SB was desperate to do some maths, as this section has a lot of messing about measuring things with water. she did piano first though, and is playing v nicely there with both hands nd sight reads well. we really should do more practice though. aarrghh. then we all went out into the garden, she did her measuring experiments, and bb enjoyed disposing of the water randomly around the garden.
when she was soaked, i picked some fresh sweetcorn from the garden [really happy about that!] and the girls had it for lunch. we might have had more of it for lunch, except that somehow bb’s ended up in the pond… we also had freshly picked apples from the garden, and i picked yet more beans! we did some french and then painting. both said they wanted to paint their feet. sb’s got transferred to paper, and bb’s to the patio!
more messy water play later, and we made some viking bread – which is yummy. SB realised how much work grinding would be, as i had a cupful of seeds to pestle and mortar. she did some, but i did most!! both girls made shapes with it before it was cooked.
A bit cold, we went inside for a snuggle, and i read loads of stories from the barefoot buddhist story book, and then we watched how things work, and SB did a sewing kit – very nicely! soup and viking bread for tea. yummy. i made a viking lucet from a plastic fork. i think we have very nearly finished our viking section. must do a bit of rune writing before we move on with SOTW.
chris has been busy putting up some extra shelves in the pantry so we can move the suma order from the hallway! i am worried it will attract mice in.
