The Giraffe that walked to Paris







This week we kicked off MEP (Maths programme) and it has been a huge hit! Anna is actually looking forward tio her Maths lessons :)

We've also been learning about giraffes and a little about Egypt and France. The girls have been notebooking and are doing really well with it.

Yesterday they fashioned ' pyramids' from clay and painted them today after they'd hardened.

We also measured ourselves, the giraffe in the story, and the height of a fully grown male giraffe and marked them off with chalk on the cement out the back. This was a really good way to visualise just how tall these creatures can be. Only one more day with "La giraffe". It's a beautiful book and I think we'll all miss it, but back to the library it must go:(
