We've also discussed some maths - 10x10 as a result of the books we've been reading. We also talked about rainbows so they both drew and coloured their own. Noah has also been asking about insects that can swim so we discussed the different types - those that are born in water but then leave water when adults (mosquitos, dragonflies), those that skate on water (water boatmen) and those that always live in water (water beetles).
There has also been lots of playing with toys, including our quite extensive animal collection.
The biggest challenge of the day was that I almost forgot that I had promised to try and make 'hedgehog bread' for lunch.. quick recipe search online (http://www.botham.co.uk/seed/bread1.htm) and I came up with this..
The afternoon was spent at a Home Ed social group, lots of sunshine and running around outside with friends whilst I had a cup of tea and chat inside. And then the evening was spent at the Taekwondo class.
So, a fantastic day.. until.. about 11pm.. when skipping girl started being sick, everywhere, every 30 minutes until 3am.. That leads to today.. a day of Minecraft, CBeebies and Netflix I feel. And lots of caffeine and washing for me.
Minor blip.. I am sort of enjoying the calm.. and Zenstar boy will spend the afternoon at an army museum with his grandfather, so he won't feel too cooped up, and then his second session of Beavers this evening where they are going pond dipping. I will enjoy calm cuddles on the sofa with my girl.
