argh – as the girls often say! They have been doing varying amounts of the normal home-eddy stuff. Sb has ‘lost’ her galore park books apparently! however the spelling books on the advice from layla have been a hit – she preferred smelly spellings etc from letts, but has finished those, so we have gone back to an earlier book from the collins series. Spelling is still a bit hit and miss, but definitely improving, and the whole writing thing less painful for her!!
SB has also been working through some primary maths practice papers, she understands more of the concepts than last year, but is equally skilled at dizzy mistakes! However, think these things are good to do! SHe is practising for her grade 4 ballet as well. also going to be part of the gym club display. music practice is a variable feast! but she has got the hang of staccato on the piano and spiccato on the viola. otherwise things tick along. ooh, she did some more delicious baking 
BB has been doing a fair bit of reading, and i acquiesced to buying her the starter spelling book like SB’s new ones. She hasn’t done any yet tho. DH says they have both been doing maths fairly regularly, and she is now reading level 4 books. not easily, but is persisting! She spent a lot of time this week drawing a plan for an angry birds cake for her birthday, and using jenga to recreate angry birds traps!
At friday arts award there was a bit of junk jewellery making, sb made 2 necklaces, but plans to turn one into a bracelet now, and BB made a thing with her name on it . usual running around a bit and there we are
Saturday I was at home – woohoo!! we spent the morning doing a few bits of general HE stuff – viola prac, reading prac and a PMC paper, and then spent the afternoon crafting. Initially SB finished her sand craft whilst BB surprised us all and had a 2 hour nap! Then we sat down and did some tile painting all together, very companionable chit chatting as we went along.
final bit of the day was tea in front of pirates of the carribean 2 – don’t think this one as good as 1, and the girls not so keen on it, nor was I!
