Jude on violin

Jude loves playing duets with Eden on the piano, and during his lesson asks the teacher to play song after song on the piano so that he can play along.

Reptile Haiku

Eden was having fun with Haiku poetry today, using reptiles as the subject

Snakes

Slither snake go by
Gliding through the green green grass
Eyes never closing

Chameleons

Grasping tiny feet
Anxious little eyes twist round
Changing colour now

Studying Reptiles

It makes my job so easy when the children decide what they want to learn about next, I know what ever they have chosen they will have an appetite for it all of their own. They have already read all the library books I have got out on reptiles, and are learning more about the classification of animals too. Eden is desperate to have her own reptile as a pet, whether it be a lizard, snake or tortoise, she doesn't mind, she would just love to have one to observe.
We used a favourite craft - stained glass water colour. Eden did the drawings for everyone.
Eden is getting more artistic with her use of shades.
