Edith Nesbit - Enchanted Castle

We all loved The Railway Children by Edith Nesbit, so were excited to start reading this book together. The chapters are quite long, but the children love all the themes of magic and fairytales.

Ancient Greece - Myth of Andromeda

The sea monster from the Greek myth of Andromeda by Eden.

Gingerbread girl

Niamh's very creative gingerbread girl - worthy of a blog entry we thought.

Van Gogh

We have been studying Van Gogh and his paintings, "Sunflowers" is the favourite of all of us children. We were surprised to hear that he cut off his ear one day when he lost his temper. We hope to go to the gallery in London soon, to see the real painting.

Robin Hood

We are reading Robin Hood together as a family - we try to choose classics to read as a family together at night. So far our favourite by far is "Tom Sawyer".
