MATHS *Do odd and even Montessori activities – done. *Do some Montessori Shape and solid activities. *Do some basic geometry – done, eduss, geomags. *Do some measuring and ruler work. – some discussion These were my goals for Fran’s maths at the beginning of the year, after i’d gone through the “Yr 2” goals. They […]

Started the day with hair cuts all round by our lovely mobile hairdresser. Girls love her and everone now look gorgeous. Ammi has the start of a bob now, very pretty. Then the big girls made more Egyptian jewellery and then we went to AW. Where apparently Ammi made a boyfriend and we had 24 […]

I’m going to need a roof box. That is a LOT of tent! Love the OutdoorMegastore instructions though, very funny…

Apologies to Sarah, although its her fault, the song has been in my head all day. It’s been a quick and easy sort of a day here; my TT (temporary teenager :~D) was here and she entertained Amelie all day and variously Fran and Maddy too. That left me free to tidy up, get washing […]

For someone who has been sliced open while awake 3 times, i’m feeling pretty pathetically scared about the idea of having to have my tonsils out really. I’ve got a feeling its going to come to that, though presumably not till Josie weans and […]

Alphabetical order Left and right. Odd and even. Alphabet – letter of the week books… sigh… yes its really come to that. Odd and even – that Montessori material i made 3 years ago. Left and Right – Simon Says… Mmm… yes, could probably add punctuation and consistant use of capital letters to that…
