horrible science

Our neighbour gave us some wood pigeons he had shot, Imogen and Geoff prepared them ready for eating. Me and Mima were a bit squeamish, but we eat meat so good to see how it is prepared. Low air miles too!

Brownie pampering evening

Imogen and Mima came back from brownies with new hair styles and lovely make-up.
They had a great time and it's all part of their brownie 100 badge.

Trip to Clifton Park.

Girls had a fantastic time at clifton park with home ed friends. So nice to get out in fresh warm air!

literacy stuff 14/3/10-21/3/10

Mima really enjoyed doing word level work on the computer, so hope do some more this week.
Both girls have started writing a book together, writing a chapter at a time. The book is based on the characters they created last week.

...and not forgetting everyday stuff.

Irish limericks

Geoff read to us the theory behind limericks and then read some limericks by Edward Lear. We all had a good time making up limericks, all managing the rhyme, but good job Geoff was there to keep us on track with the 8,8,5,5,8 pattern of the 5 lines.

St Patrick's Day stuff

Mima reading out the clues to the St. Paddy's crossword. This was a great way to see how much they had learnt about the celebration. We then listened to irish music and watched film clips of Ireland. Really want to go there now!!!!

St Patrick's Day meal

A traditional Irish meal, beef and loads of potatoes!!
Imogen drew shamrocks on the potatoes using green icing pens!
