Roman Numerals

Eden enjoyed working out everyones age in Roman Numerals.

Studying Autumn: Display

Even though Jude was learning the seasons, all the girls wanted to get involved in the crafts too, so this is their final wall display.
Niamh's handwriting is getting so lovely and neat, she is really careful.

I wonder what Jude is thinking about?

I saw this quick sketch Jude had done of a lady(presumably me), and noticed that she had a baby in her tummy. Jude does talk about the new baby a lot, and now it has come out in his drawings, so sweet.

Studying Autumn: Making scarecrows

The children made stick scarecrows out of lollipop sticks.
Glue the sticks in this form.
Cut out some clothes.
Glue them on, with some "straw" and a face.
And you have stick scarecrows.

Learning about the Seasons - Autumn

Jude and I have started a theme on the seasons, we started with Autumn first because it is just around the corner.
Jude spent a lot of time and care on this tissue paper sunflower. It was nice to see him complete a craft in one go, he normally loses interest halfway, but his concentration span is increasing steadily.
His painting is a lot more careful too and the end product is lovely.
Autumn leaves, I had to help out with the colours a bit, he had started to use blue, so needed a bit of explanation about colours of autumn leaves :D

The Roman Army

It was amazing to learn about how organized the Roman army was. We created a make believe army, with Jude in on of the conteburnia(actually his name was Yudius as there are no J's in the Roman alphabet).

Dragon sketch by Eden

Eden sketched this up in about 10 minutes after asking daddy what she can draw. He gave her the idea and this is what she came back with.
