Tuesday 5th May.

Well we had a lovely bank holiday, even though the weather was rubbish.
Chloe is still working on the Tale of Despereaux. We have read the first book. Chloe's favourite part was the mouse council.
Then in the afternoon we continued our work on Ancient Greece. Chloe has made her first mini book to go in her lapbook - it tells how stone-age people came to Greece, how they settled there and what life was like.
This also links in with our British history topic - as were looking at the stone-age. I found a lovely classroom display on the net about the stone-age. Someone had made a stone-age house. I might do this with Chloe. Use some salt dough for the base, small twigs as the frame and then add some layers of fabric or papaer maiche as the animal skins. Add on a few rocks for stools and a little 'fire' and maybe even some pipecleaner or cardboard cave-men. I also want to order the book 'Stig of the dump' from the library. I think this will make another good book to read to link in with what we are studying.
Busy, busy, busy....
