art, music, literature, french

Went on to our negative spaces drawing of a chair in the art course. Too gorgeous a day to stay inside for it so we set up outside – looks like were making ready for a show but this is what we were meant to do with the chairs! Quite a good exercise I thought, good light outside, though it kept changing. I love seeing the children learn to really see and notice these things.

draw me instead!

Heard a bit of Tony Robinson’s friendly guide to music on Saturday and knew the kids would like the style of it, so we ‘listened again’ to the Baroque programme with lunch – very good.

Still continuing on with Celestine – it generates a lot of discussion. Synchronistically, I was looking through a blog, found on a local forum, and came across some fab holiday pics of Peru. We looked all through them and then that day the book reached Machu Picchu :)

Filmwise weve been doing E.M. Forster with Howard’s End and Room with a View… also some more Jane Austen with Persuasion. Rewatched The Two Towers – never realised but Fanghorn Forest is our woods… knew we’d seen them before somewhere ;)

Mathswise were doing money in various ways – these little games are quite good from the beeb.

French continuing with Asterix and some worksheets.

From the synopsis this looks a promising programme on teachers TV next week – We Don’t Go To School

Random pic from today that I love :D

sweet love
