A few photos

Just a few photos from today with descriptions. The first is Eva, stretching out on the couch and relaxing after school. The other two are master Jude who doesn't really cook in his kitchen but likes to dump the china plates in the sink to make a loud noise whilst we read! Check out the 'innocent', "it wasn't me" face!

Better go now and make pizza dough foir dinner tonight. Yummmmmmm.

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:(

Been a little while........

So Isaac's first day of preschool went very well

and so has the rest of the week. He is absolutely loving it! There were no tears, no drama, no nothing!

He has therapy after his class so it's a long and intensive day for a little guy. He finishes up about 2pm after a 9:15 start but is so far coping very, very well. The girls, Jude and I all miss him at home and we all look forward to picking him up together. He, though is thoroughly enjoying himself. His therapist today even said that she reckons he's on the cusp of being able to be potty trained! On the way home we stopped off at Target and bought some ' big boy undies'. Who knows? Fingers crossed!

Sunday....planning day

I've just got things planned and ready to go for the week. We're going to be working on the book, "The Giraffe that walked to Paris". It is so beautifully illustrated I can hardly wait till tomorrow to start it PLUS Giraffes are my all time favourite animal :)

The new Math MEP programme is all bound and ready to go and we have a basket of books to browse on Egypt, Paris and Giraffes so it looks like a fun week.

I've planned out all the meals for the week but had better get upstairs and cook dinner for tonight..........alsI'd better get Isaac's bag ready for tomorrow (lots of paperwork). He's starting pre school tomorrow and he's so excited and a little bit nervous (just like his Mum).
