Yet another Monday morning... · Monday October 2, 2006 by june
They still keep on coming. Well Liz is better, but now I’ve come down with a cold myself. So, today has been quiet.
We’re nearing the end of the Dr Who work. Both Liz and James are just finishing their drafts of the third piece of writing. Tomorrow they’ll write it up in their books, and then go on to read the rest of the Dr Who story. (I will try to do the write up for the website over the next couple of days).
Both did maths today. James has been doing a “review”, which is turning out to be patchy, as usual, but I’m finding that he is becoming more successful at these reviews with time. It used to be “Oh no I’m being tested!!” and he would go into a frightened mode – which meant it was very difficult for him to work well. Liz has been doing some worksheets on sequences.
James did his music practice – he’s learning “The Cup of Tea” at the moment. Liz did her flute (those notes are very high in the second half of The Entertainer – ouch! – but she is doing well).
James worked on his comic this afternoon – I’m hoping he’ll finish it this week. He is cooking a meal for us all right now. Later he will do some keyboard, and hopefully he’ll redo a couple of maths
questions before he goes to bed, so we can move on quickly tomorrow (I hate it when we get bogged down).
Liz spent the afternoon making her talking picture frame Which was very successful, and she thoroughly enjoyed herself. She has also been busy updating her blog – so she spent all her ‘luchtime’ writing!
