Having come back from centerparcs, we had a lowkey weekend. We had hoped to go out walking with friends on the Sunday, but their daughter wasn’t very well, so we didn’t go ahead.
On Saturday we started our Grand English History Project with the prehistoric. It went really well [better than envisioned actually] and we started reading about the generality of what it was and when, and the migration in waves too and from what is mainland europe now, tho then joined. We then went to the specifics of cave art, had a go at making our own ‘rock pigments’ and painting in the style.
the rest of the day was chatting, playing games, ds-ing whilst I sewed, looking through some of the resource books, and also looking through our reading books to find something that FrB thought suitable. She has decided to start with angelina ballerina, and have also put out felicity wishes, thrid grade detective, magic tree house and magic school bus. they are still a ‘bit young’ but i read some aloud to sb years ago, and they are all right still.
Sunday was also relaxed. the girls went out into the garden to bounce on the trampoline and enjoy some of the good weather. We played another board game – bohnanza. FrB and I made welsh griddle cakes together. She is quite accident prone!
SO a nice, relaixing weekend
