SO we have been out in the garden pretty much all of it. However, before we went out, SB did some jigsaws and watched Cbeebies, followed by 4 pages of explode the code. She still isn’t sure of the st sounds. I read loads of books to BB. We also played vets and cats – at least I got to be the vet!
BB initiated the great going out, by insisting that we put on her snowsuit – rofl! I did let her wear it for a bit, but gradually both children stripped down to their birthday suit, and suntan lotion was applied for the first time this year. BB immediately had a blotchy face reaction. It is sainsbury’s hypoallergenic – must remember not to buy that again! Much climbing up th climbing frame an swinging on the swings ensued! After the great strip off, there was a sandcastle building? and general sprinkling sand everywhere game.
Elinor decided to chant in a very loud voice the Kings and Queens of England – she remebered a few! I was most impressed about how much she spilled out about Elizabeth 1 and Henry 8, and worked out if there was a Henry 8, there needed to be 1-7 as well! Also a spontaneous lesson in gravity, as SB said the gravity to was too great on the chair to climb the tree as she couldn’t lift her legs! So we did some gravity experiments and discussed gravity on the moon.
We did some SIngapore 1B sitting out in the sun. SB raced through as it was on less and more, and this was covered by the exeter maths ages ago.
BB is being a bit screechy every time I walk away. I think I am allowed an invisible rope of 2m. She of course can do what she likes! I had lots of cuddles and climbing games. And it is nice to devote loads of attention to her, as I sometimes worry I devote most to SB. BB is such a cute thing though.
Sb and I read a magic bus book, and now off to bed. Will do phoitos when I come down!
so nice to be able to imagine you in situ now that we’ve been to your house! Glad you had a good day
