Day 3 - Wednesday

Erm, we appear to have 100% absence this morning.... 😧

Once I can round up the students (drag the eldest out of bed...) I have some awesome English work prepared. Today's theme is 'baked potato' 😉

They eventually emerged quite refreshed and ready to learn. Both did fantastically well with their tasks. Nia had a little help finding the verbs, Nye corrected the punctuation, and both added some fabulous drawings of baked potatoes.

Working hard, though a little confused by the whole potato thing.

Their finished work.

We discussed when this song might have been written, given the content. We talked about the advice/instructions in the text and why we need to follow them as much as we can. We even hummed a few tunes as the pupils imagined how the words might be turned into a song.

Finally, I played the video of Matt Lucas singing his Baked Potato song. Look at their faces 😂

"Mum! What the...?! You did a whole English lesson on this?!"

Mum is highly amused 😄

Now Nye is studying engineering (making redstone contraptions on Minecraft!) and Nia is chilling before her handwriting session with Mum.

Working on keeping those letters within the lines.

Some reading after lunch and I think that's us done for today.

Mum managed to sneak in some more counting for Nia, before we put The Witches on.
