This week…
we have mostly been eating… cupcakes! Yum.
Nah actually we’ve been spectacularly un-busy and the one day I thought we did have something planned ( a hospital appointment) I’d got it all wrong and actually we didn’t need to be in the city at all. However we did have a really nice time at the museum looking round the new exhibition about bugs. They really enjoyed using the computer to make their own super bugs and e-mailing it back to themselves. when we got home we saw that we could play again using this link. As always enjoyed looking round the normal exhibits, this time more specifically at some of the stuffed birds that you can find in gardens as we’ve been doing lots of birdwatching lately. As it was a tuesday we should really have made an effort to get to the home ed group, but I really wasn’t in the mood to go. The kids have said that they are happy to walk there so after the easter break we might try going again maybe every fortnight or something.
A has been doing really well with her reading lately. She never did finish the Little Bear book but I was telling her that I had got that book as part of a ‘reading curriculum’ type thing (Sonlight readers 1) and that I could show her the other books that were at the same or similar level. She was really interested so I found them out, they’re mostly the Dr Seuss books and I left them with her. She read Green Eggs and Ham
We’ve done a bit of maths on the Nrich site which looks like a really great resource. A has been into wordsearches after finding her St John’s one from that first Badgers meeting and so found the Puzzle Pixies site which had some other stuff that both of them have enjoyed. M said he did some sudoku and some hangman this morning on it.
They have been playing loads together in a nice brother/sister way lately which I always enjoy seeing. Except today they have been awful. Hoping they’ll get over it quickly.
yummm … cupcakes …
(sorry that’s the extent of my commnt
)

You’d be welcome to come over sometime and look at the Sonlight stuff we have.

Oooh, Puzzle Pixies looks good - will show that to mine. We have been puzling lots lately - Gwenny is doing endless logic problems atm. My dad wrote a program to produce KenKens, so I have been doing them a trifle obsessively, lol, and even Buttercup can do a 3x3 one with help. (If anyone wants any, let me know! I’ll get him to email you some
)
