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.


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
