oh dear to all the not in time blogging! to hharicot he days! we had in half term a historyetc day. I plan to add pics as we have the capability back, but thought better blog! numbers seriously reduced due to BB’s chickenpox. 
. theme was vikings to post battle of hastings, so we had some viking and normal ships to build and a viking house. we had fimo thors hammer charms, bayeaux tapestry design and using those packing noodles to make a motte and bailey castle. also baking bread. I was significantly under the weather with migraine, but i think it was a much quieter session than normal. i think missing the other families and their crafts as well. loved seeing the people that came tho, and i love seeing the kids keeping fingers busy but being happy with their friends. think we could do with shaking it up a bit tho 
maybe adding a bit of show and tell as a v short vignette [can be acted a la horrible histories] would be quite fun.
the following week was a wodensmeet, with key themes of physics forces, animation and sewing. Started with SB, P and S doing some french speaking aloud – reading a french storybook to each other. they all then made a person and a scene for what will be a project of animating 3 pigs story. lots of discussion and v great drawings. Sb did piano prac, and had me and em nagging her and some music theory – putting rhythms to poems, something i admit is nearly as easy to me as breathing, but she really struggles with. need to get her rapping or something! After lunch the deependers joined us as well, which was really fab, and we did science in 2 sessions, rolling different mass and size marbles along a tube, seeing what our confounding variables were, and talking about momentum and inertia. the experiment demonstrated it v well. whilst i was doing that, z was leading some sock critter making from a book of e’s . this was greatly successful, with many fab critters being made. we grown ups did some chatting over ben, sb finished her galore park history and we socialised before going off to judo
BB made me v proud at judo, because she did it without SB, changed with lots of partners and clearly enjoyed herself. the big lads were also v v lovely with her
friday was arts award, looking at watercolours.
this post needs some pictures!
