potter and pi

Davie’s back to work today after his four days off, Charlotte’s writing and illustrating a book about fictional Royal families and Daniel is youtubing in various languages. Weve just been for a very wet walk in the woods.

Our new words in French are quite easy this week (week 5!) as we know most of them from previous study – watched Eddie Izzard again and the kids now understand much more of the vocabulary in there :) This morning we lay flat on the sofas to listen to the first movement of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony and let it roll over us – talked all about what symphonies are. Think we’ll try and make a regular thing of this with different composers - it feels so good to just lie there and listen… Used the second movement for a ballet exercise routine and then let the rest play as we got on with maths. Have moved on from triangles and Pythagoras to circles and Pi with Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi – all very amusing again ;)

Getting on well with the tenant too… and we watched Miss Potter (lovely trailer there) over the weekend. All loved it – will end with Beatrix’s famous quote: Thank Goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality.
