Eden's friend gave her watercolours and a canvas for her birthday. She surprised us all by painting this country scene.
Jude and Ciara have started a theme on insects. No child should go through childhood without making a splodge butterfly.
And then Niamh kicked off the next craft by making a caterpillar with a cork for printing - finished pic to follow.
Ciara wanted a go too, nice control Ciara!
Jude doing an exercise with a scale/balance. I am trying my best not to slow Jude down in his appetite for more advanced maths, but at the same time I don't want him to miss out on the fun things the girls got to do at this age too.
Eden has zoomed through her Gamma, and learnt the multiplication tables as if they were a hidden sense I never knew about, I was seriously amazed at how quickly she picked them up - perhaps it is because this curriculum lays it out in such a sensible way. She chose a bar of dark chocolate as her reward, and is now zooming through Delta which is division - the way that multiplication was taught in gamma has made the progression to division really seamless - great for her enthusiasm. I think I have picked up a mantra that I heard another hs mum use -
in my house you are NOT allowed to NOT enjoy maths!!
