Magellan and Ballet

Ferdinand Magellan sought a sea route through the Americas to China across the Pacific in 1519.  He discovered the Magellan Strait, named after him and also Magellanic penguins, so the children spent an enjoyable morning naming a part of the garden after themselves and also inventing a new animal which they named after themselves.  Funny and memorable. 

The Boy finished his book and read lots of word with the magic 'e' in them: fine, gave, hope.  Clever sausage.


Spring is springing.

Drawing on wood, because why not.


 While the girls worked on their Maths, English, Nature Study and Music, Mummy and The Boy did a bit of spring crafting.




And then: Ballet x3 and Football for the munchkins & Yoga and Uni for Mummy :)
