Zakari
Zak worked from Writing Matters 3, pages 29 - 31, all work on horizontal joins. He isn't too fond of cursive writing, and admittedly, his printing is much neater, but as the old saying goes, practice makes perfect ... After he completed these pages, he read Chapter 1 of George's Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl and the wrote about what he had read.
Kaliah
Kaliah worked from Writing Matters 2, pages 9 - 11, downstroke letters. Kaliah is starting to develop a bad habit of racing with regards to her writing - in comparison, her handwriting last year was much neater than it is now. To keep her in practice, I keep asking her to slow down and concentrate, and the paragraphs which she traced and copied today, i also got her to write out again in her practice book. She then read Tough Boris by Mem Fox and wrote a summary of what she had read.
Khaemon
We worked on pages 10 (Make a Number Group), 11 (Make a Number Story (1)), 12 (Number 6) and 13 (Number 7) from My First Maths Book. Khaemon can competently count to 5, drawing missing objects to make a required number (eg. if there are 2 flowers and the number says 5, he knows to draw 3 more flowers). We again counted and coloured various groups of objects and then Khaemon practiced writing 6's and 7's, and colouring the pictures.
