Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes.

We read the Lourdes story (although a little edited for little ears) and decorated a frame around a picture of St. Bernadette and Our Lady.

Painting sea pictures.

The girls played outside for most of the day today but they did make a funny fish picture with photographs of their heads as the fish's head. We talked about what it would be like to be a fish and Ballet Girl spent a while working out how she would escape from various nets and sharks and whales.

I cut out fish pictures from the aquatic centre brochures the girls were given and they made a collage.

Balloon volleyball at the park this afternoon.

This weekend my Ballet Girl learnt to ride her bike without stabilisers. She woke up on Saturday morning and decided, that was it, she wanted them off. She's been zooming around for 3 days now!

Yesterday we visited our local aquatic centre. The girls took their clipboards and drew their favourite fish. Panda Girl joined in too. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves and even got some fish stickers from the manager.
Today we watched dolphins and other marine life on the National Geographic website.

Working on her ship's log book. Over the past 3 days the girls have travelled from England-Iceland-Africa-Mexico, logging the date, direction, weather. They also saw a lighthouse, cleaned the ship, watched the fish, spotted a school of dolphins, looked at the anchor and the ship's wheel, and enjoyed the hammocks.

Monkey Girl reading a great sea book from the library.

Painting starfish.

A lovely walk to the park.

Ballet Girl and Monkey Girl made some sea themed sun catchers.

Our sea jar.

Pirate ship. This is such a great toy!

Shrove Tuesday - pancakes for lunch :)

This morning the girls made jellyfish. Ballet Girl and Monkey Girl worked on their maths, with their first look at odd and even numbers and some work on tallying.

Today the girls started a Ships' Log. We travelled North (ok, North northwest) from England to Iceland. The girls drew a compass, a picture of their ship (Ballet Girl called her's The Poppy and Monkey Girl The Diamond), the date, the weather and some pictures of their trip. Tomorrow we will go South...

Handprint crabs with googly eyes!

Shell Estimation. The girls had a look at the jar and had to guess how many shells they thought were inside. They then wrote their estimate, counted and wrote the actual.

Out with the polystyrene balls and in with the water. The girls, Panda Girl especially, have played with this for most of the day.
