Is it just me ....
.... or is it getting noticeably chilly first thing in the morning and early in the evening? There has been a distinctly autumnal feel over the last week or so!
We've been busy working here :) I've been busy planning our first home ed park days (getting a few people interested in coming along now!) and cleaning - lots! I don't know, however much I clean the place, I'm never completely satisfied with it - I never quite reach the impossibly high standards I set myself - *laughs* - I thought it was Virgo people who were supposed to be perfectionists, not us cuddly, homebody Cancerians!
.... No, I'm not into starsign gobbledygook by the way!
Anyhow, the kids have been busy too:
April has been learning letters with the initial sounds basket (I SOMEHOW managed to find an object for every single letter of the alphabet - it was like going on a treasure hunt around our house!)
She has also been working with (my version) of the spindle box and getting to grips with the concept of "0" (she kept trying to put sticks in the zero bit because she couldn't get "nothing"!)
Rosie has been doing some map labelling work (Japan)
.... and adding fractions
Oh, and for no other reason than it's totally cute, here is April's lunch today! She wanted a bento lunch (even her pudding got put in a little bento box!) I couldn't get the lids on because they are so full but she still wants them (*rolls eyes* - honestly!), so I just rest them on top!
That's all folks! :)
