I'm going to cheat on week C since we are still no closer to finding the missing cable...I think this calls for a new camera ;0
I did not 'loose it on purpose' Mr G before you ask!
So C week was lots of fun too -
I'm just going to do a basic round up of each day all in the one post and hopefully will get something sorted in terms of posting all B and C week pics together and then getting back on track with D week...and my new camera ;) ???
Mon - We started off C week with an easy day of baking Cookies, which
didn't last long at all and where finished before daddy could even try one when he got home from work! I have since been asked daily when we can make them again - I shall do a
separate post with pictures and
recipe. We then made Castles. Firstly we drew out what we would like our castles to look like then got out the blocks and tried to build it just like our picture. This proved hard for me in particular...how do you build cone shaped roofs with cubes?!
lol The kids had fun with it though and this led to an afternoon of playing knights and princesses and dragons!
Tues - To carry on from the success in interest of castles and knights we decided we should make some Crowns! Nothing super fancy just card and lots of sparkles and glitter and furry bits! Once the crowns had been made all they wanted to do was play their game again, so they did that till lunchtime :D After lunch we took to learning all about the 'coolest creature ever' (or so K thinks) the Chameleon. We looked up different species and found out where they lived etc then we got onto the -interactive part. We coloured in around 10 chameleons and cut them out then went about
sticking them to different things in the house that were the same colour as they were coloured. We took turns being the hiders and the seeker of the chameleons. Lots of fun!
Wed - I had plans for other things today however this ended up falling through as
I'm sure this will happen many times. But the kids still had C fun and did get up to some mischief with my camera. This has resulted in me ordering K his very first proper camera and we will do something bigger and better along the camera lines once it arrives. He has taken a real shine to photography and i
don't think it would b fair not to follow this through as he is actually very good! We also looked into comics, as just now they both are very much into superheros, this lead to K deciding he wanted to write his own comic, The adventures of
Super Dude! K has also told us he plans to write enough comics to enable him to buy one of every toy in the world for his sister's 3rd birthday! Really could you get any cuter!....£2 a copy
in case you were wondering ;)
Thurs - This was a very exciting day as it was the Cheese Challenge day. We went to the shops and picked up 6 different cheeses, mummy making sure they all had
relatively different tastes and textures so we had
something to talk about ;) So we basically did the same thing as we did for our Apple taste test - see previous post, an apple a day... - We scored each cheese out of 5 and drew a picture of the cheese. K also wrote out the name of the cheese on his score sheets. Unsurprisingly F like all the cheeses & K only disliked 1...I live in a house full of mice!
lolFri - Our usual roundup day, going over what we had learned, writing practise and making up our C boards.
I should really make a wee note here, we also do workbooks now and again and other sorts of games and activities that
aren't really connected with our Letter of the week 'programme' which we are following just now. The more we get into the letter of the week the more i realise we really work better as we were, on the autonomous way of learning. However as the children are still enjoying the letter 'weeks' we will stick with it as long as they are happy, knowing that it might take us longer than a week to 'study a letter' as we go off on a tangent whenever something takes our fancy!
