Ballet Girl's croissant.

Croissants and chocolate milkshake for breakfast - very French :) 

I have changed the layout of the girls' desks and have had a very positive response. The girls have been working very hard. Ballet Girl has done some great writing work this week.

All 3 girls made their own Croque Monsieur for lunch. Panda Girl was proud of her cheese tower.

What better way to start our French project than have a mini French pic-nic? We had a fun time in the supermarket first thing looking for all things French. I got some funny looks in the alcohol aisle when the girls started yelling "Mummy is this French wine?"
I am sensing a croissant breakfast later in the week...

The Tricolour flag :)

We discussed how the names of countries always have capital letters. They each drew a capital F and then pieced together the letters.

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!

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.
