Shhh, don't tell them!

It's not even a school day but we've managed to smuggle in some learning, a bit like the way you hide vegetables in bolognese sauce 😉

Nia read Peter Rabbit on her CBeebies app while Nye joined Mum and Dad for a game of Carcassonne (..Dad won!).

Practising her reading

Maths, logic, flexing our resilience muscles...

Wrapping up the blog - week 16

It's time to wrap up the blog. We're in Leicester, which means we're in local lockdown 😣 Nia had only been going back to school for a few weeks and was settling in to that new routine, so things have been a bit unsettled.

One of Nye's has a little shoot visible and we think Nia's might have one too as the seed has moved upwards: Nye did a few division/fractions questions to finish his booklet: He sorted picture cards into solids, liquids and gases: And answered a few questions about matter. He also completed a task on reversible and irreversible changes: Nia has a Sunflower Diary booklet and she completed the page on what sunflowers need to grow. She remembered what we learnt yesterday so she got all the answers right. Some fabulous colouring too: Nye had a super fast French session, identifying different food and drink. Lots of new words. Mum called out a word in French and Nye had to say it in English. Some of them sound really funny 😆 We've also been outside and don...
