Week 5 (Mon 28/02 - Sun 06/03)

We have taken things, book wise, quite slowly this week. The kids have spent a great deal of time reading, constructing with lego and playing outside this week.

We have also concentrated on cleaning the house (which, of course, is a never ending task!)

Khaemon started some handwriting this week with Writing Matters K, pages 4 - 7, Downstroke letters and patterns, which he traces really well!

We touched on some Science this week with Zak and Kaliah, but I really think that's something I may need to re-evaluate and look for something that, at this stage, is less technical and more every day science.

We did our usual shopping and packing away routine on Wednesday, which was slightly challenging for the kids, as we had quite a few new and uncommon things in our shop this week (we are trying new things) so there were lots of questions about where certain things went (and what they were too, like ricotta cheese!)

Zak helped me make chick pea enchiladas this week, which was fun and definitely something we will do again.

Swimming lessons are still going well, although we are seriously considering moving Kaliah to a different class (same level) just because she needs to be challenged. Zak works hard, putting a great deal of effort into improving his strokes and styles.

At Riv Kids this week, the kids painted, made clay sculptures and also made things with scrap cardboard boxes and rolls, egg cartons and other bits and pieces.
