being me. I had to go into work today, which messed with mine and girls heads! i started getting fidgety early on so i apologise to the hostess. We were also late – more apologies!
Its a lovely group, and the children are nice with each other, and on the whole interested in all the bits [odd bits of wildness aside] A start with making some habitats in a bag, where various seeds were sown. Both girls did it – though BB in her own sweet time! Then Latin – which SB and i had quickly revised in the car as we had missed the last group! [we had also learnt how t say it is sunny today in french - which SB set to music]. This is followin the minimus books and various other things about roman life. [in fact at the moment SB is dancing around shrieking puella whilst dancing about] We ‘spare’ mums did a bit of gossiping, veg chopping and baby holding [and reading to BB and playing!]
Then after a restorative toast, they did science. There was some red cabbage water looking beauifully purple, and the children guessed what would happen with vinegar [pink.acid] and bicarb [green.alkali - or alcohol as SB said to me this eve!], and then a variety of other things. Finished with the fab bicarb and vinegar volcano – which the children were rowdily impressed with. Must utube it!
I then rushed off in stressed mode, and chris arrived moments later. SB has also had rainbows today – looking at compasses and directions – very nicely fitting with our maggie and ferocious beast theme!
We are slumped in front of downloads. We have watched beginners guide to the cosmos, about how to get to Mars, and now watching return of the raptors. Both girls interested in that. BB has a big interest in chicks, eggs and birds, and we are reading those lifecycle dk books over and over again! Both girls really enjoyed the raptor centre too.
Adding – Sb has playd a variety of patience games and read to me beautifully. i particulralry liked the different accents she gave different characters! My amazon not gone through – those textbooks too expensive, so the fraud squad at the bank need me to ring and confirm me! bother!
Can’t believe the number of photos you have on Flickr. 16,536 photos!
No apologies necessary (I was too busy being stressed and grumpy myself to notice anyway!) and hope your afternoon was okay.
Lovely to see you all – and thanks for taking so many great photos
We may pinch a few if that’s okay.
always fine to pinch photos. i noticed you were looking a bit stressed too.
ROFL Tim – but we take s many!! I only print off 400 a year to put in an album though, and they are the ones we notice most!
