Latinetc – Reactions!

New year and back to work well, the second day back to work, as the girls had done partic well with daddybean on the tuesday, getting loads done, and then with me when i got home SoTW and the science prep for today, glocks prac with BB [btw em, any book recommendations? we started by copying londons burning, and uncertain f you can bang both d's at the beginning with same stick or should change?] no good getting a teacher, bb resistant to that kind of thing. found this on musicroom which might be ok? just don’t want her to get bad habits whilst gets confidence until can consider lessons in whatever instrument she settles on. she is such a musical soul. SB has tried her recorder again, and not bothering her teeth at all, so hoping ok when she sees dentist in a fortnight.

anyway, today latinetc and we piled out to deependers and weren’t quite last. V bad timing of us that level 2 real science 4 kids chem level 2 offline . ALso that i had the camera on a setting that appears to have given me white photos for the first half of the littlies science . ir was an easier and more controllable session, as exactly followed that of the lab books, but with lots of talking, thinking and reinforcing the key ideas of the chapter – the 4 diff types of reaction, and how to spot one has happened. think they all had it by the end.

Also a great arts session, with popart type representations of themselves in gel pens. Have to say, SB’s looked more like her before she coloured her face green and gave herself an alien mouth… but all did a brill job [will add pics] so thankyou Z for that fab idea.

I heard much raucousness from the minimus this time and SB enjoyed recorders, as did BB. I think we need to work on her grade 2 music theory and push it ahead a bit. and they sat and did some skoldo as well. silly me had brought the wrong book tho will get perhaps a bit of work done on that as well. it seemed like a v full and busy latinetc, with the kids all getting loads from it

we came home and did SB piano prac [gina please remind me where to get piano tuner!!] and some music theory, and i read some greek myths and legends to girls [am going to try and reg read outside the bedtime story session] and also played on the wii with SB whilst BB played with her farm. I didn’t attach myself to computer screen and we didn’t watch tv. i also didn’t exercise as shattered, but you can’t win on everything
