Thursday 14th May.

Another cold and grey day.
We spent the morning reading Despereaux. Chloe wants to read it whenever possible - she's hooked! We've now read the second book. All about Roscuro the rat. She keeps asking me " Mum, what do you think happens to the Queen?" To which i reply well we'll find out soon enough.

This afternoon Chloe has learnt about the Bronze age. We should have worked on our Stonehenge but we had a bonfire on Sunday to get rid of a load of rubbish and my son must have gathered every bit of spare paper he could find to throw on it! LOL
Looks like i'll have to pop to my Mum's and collect some of her old newspapers.

I'm trying to put together a list of fictional books that are set in certain historical times.
I've already requested Stig of the Dumps (for our Stoneage work) and someone suggested wolf brother. So i've requested that too.
I've also seen the Percy Jackson books. They are about a boy who is half Greek God and half human. There are 5 books in total and i think they focus on the Greek Gods. I can't wait for the library to call to say they are all in stock.
