Dinovember

Three years later and the dinos are still causing chaos in my house every November. It's a nightmare from start to finish., We even had a new dino egg hatch so now we have even MORE dinos. On the plus side they at least taught the baby its alphabet.

Also in November

The Boy has done a lot of rugby and was Bulldog Champion last week. 

Ballet Girl learnt how to make home-made burgers.

Panda Girl has had huge amounts of fun on her crutches, after struggling with a foot issue.

We've seen a few specialists... and she continues to smile.

 Papa continues to work very hard

 Lots of reading has happened.

Mummy and The Boy and his cousin went to Wembley to watch the France vs England Football Friendly.

A few baking sessions have happened in the kitchen, courtesy of the children.

The Boy has taken a new interest in reading and so we are working through a few books.

Sports Party

Monkey Girl has spent hours with her chemistry set. She's made a notebook with her ideas, hypotheses and findings.

Hanging out with the hamster

And the guinea pigs

The Boy made an egg and bacon pie completely by himself. Having previously watched Papa, I knew he had remembered how do it. I helped fry the bacon and onion, but I left the rest to him. He was chuffed. I was chuffed. Everyone was very impressed.

Scanning library books

 Monkey Girl designed and drew this beautiful eye.

Also: the girls had a ballet exam; Ballet Girl has almost finished her first quarter in her first year of her diploma; The Boy was gymnast of the week this week; the two eldest are in training for a drill competition next month and a tap dancing performance next week; we've had play-dates; Mummy continues with her degree; and we're all enjoying Take That's new tour dvd. Yes. Yes we are ;) 

Autumn, Migration and Hibernation Thematic Unit

We've finished! Our unit on Autumn, hibernation and animal migration is now complete. :)

Scroll through my older posts for all our work this month. 

We ended the unit with a morning learning about cuckoo migration.

(laying their eggs in other birds' nests so they can return to sunny Africa!)

A final autumn walk before winter becomes official.

Early evenings are for jigsaws.
