Thursday 7th May.

The sun is shinning today, i love it when the sun shines. It just makes you want to do more.

We were back home for 9 and ready to start learning. Chloe has read another book - Scout, puppy place. It's the fifth one she's read. She has 2 more books left to read before she's pestering me to go to the library again.

We worked on Despereaux again. Chloe finished the comprehension unit i wrote for the first book. Then i suggested that she draw some sketches from the story. Maybe one of the castle and one of Despereaux in the dungeon. This then went to pictures of the main events. Then Chloe suggested that we do a picture book type thing like we did in RE, with one or two sentences in a box describing key events. In the end she decided to do the picture/comic book drawings with a quote from the book for the major events - genius! We're upto the mouse council and even though she proclaims she can't draw, it looks FANTASTIC.

This afternoon we will start making Stonehenge!!!
I haven't been able to get hold of any polystyrene so it will have to be saltdough or paper maiche - i still can't decide which will be easier. I'm thinking that we could make the blocks out of lego and then cover them with paper maiche to get the blocks started and then slip the lego out of the bottom and start to build up the layers??? Decisons, decisons!
