We looked at a map of Issigeac, the village where Papa's parents live in the South of France. We found Nanny Flo's house and figured out the best way from there to the village church.

...and then Mummy and Ballet Girl made La Tour Eiffel!

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!!

My Beautiful Elodie Marie is 6 today! She is my sensitive, deep-thinking, sweet sweet sweet baby :) I love you Didi! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dinosaur Window Display.

Monkey Girl put her toy dinosaurs into size order.
Ballet Girl read and illustrated her dinosaur book and did some more work for her T.rex project (learning that the name means 'tyrant lizard king')
Later I weighed the girls and we did comparisons between them and the dinosaurs. It would take 383 Elodies to weight the same as a Tyrannosaurus Rex, 95 Lucias to make a Stegosaurus but only 2 Dominiques to make a Coelophysis!

My Panda Girl sorting colours.

Today Panda Girl went to her first ever gymnastics lesson. She loved it so much that she grinned for an hour. :)

Making a sponge cake for...

'Bella' the Stegosaurus cake :) It was yum!

This morning we used our Dinosaur Fact File to work out the lengths of different dinosaurs. The girls loved this activity and we all got a little blown-away with the size of a T-rex!

Ballet Girl working out where the legs would be on a Triceratops.

Our dinosaur memory/concentration game.

Today's worksheets: we used pentagons to make stegosaurus plates; Monkey Girl did some great addition on her own and Ballet Girl started a mini-project on her favourite T-rex.

Dinosaur books we have been reading.

This morning the girls had 3 piles of dinosaur worksheets to choose from: reading and writing, maths or fact-file. They worked really hard and Ballet Girl surprised herself with how well her maths is progressing - hooray!

Monkey Girl did some good subtraction work.

The girls spent all afternoon in the paddling pool and chasing bubbles from the bubble machine. It's a hard life...

Panda Girl spent all afternoon in happy raptures :)

Monkey Girl had some fun today with her dinosaur sticker book...

...and Ballet Girl excavated some dinosaur bones (to be continued).

Bank Holiday Monday we took the girls to Tring Natural History Museum - where we checked out some prehistoric bones!
