School fish - didn't they do well?

I worked with reception and year two children, so that I could help out in all of my girls classes! 

Mary had a lot of fun looking for purple flowers for her fish. Some of the reception children finished inside the hour we had together, and very quickly chose a favourite colour ...

I love the eye on this fish!

Daisy worked with blocks of strong colour. Some children really didn't want to be restricted to one colour. 

These are going to look great swimming all over the carnival float! 

School of fish!

Today I am going into school to help Mary's class make some fish for Weymouth carnival this year!

I love collage, so we will be working with magazines and glue. 

I am going to be 'the rainbow fish' and give each child a glittery shimmery scale, fin or eye! I will make sure I share some of the results!

Home educating - each other!

Don't be fooled by this studious looking picture, Matty and Daisy are just colouring in the margins ... Just what I did at school, I think!



'School' is a popular game at the moment, I found Mary sitting in Daisy's chair and Daisy 'teaching' her the alphabet from her own knowledge (and not bad either)


Daisy's favourite thing to do at the moment is read 'Peter And Jane' Ladybird books!

Riding on Jay ...

We went horse riding, on a pony called Jay - we had ridden her before, but not for some time!



We fitted our lesson in just around lunch time, so while matty went first, Mary and Daisy had some sandwiches.



Then it was Daisy's turn, but Jay felt like she had done enough and would rather get back to the juicy fields ...



But off they went, and Matty ate her lunch. That's Bailey, keeping watch for crumbs at the girls' feet!



"nice day for it!"



Then Mary has a go ... she took a while to get used to the movement, and then she was quite happy and went four times round the school!

i get asked a lot now if the girls are going to preschool ...

this was one of their christmas presents ... not from mummy and daddy tho...mummy did scribble on the box!

a long time ago ...

mother recently posted pics of my sister and i on 'facepack' as she calls it, and i was amused and horrified, at the shoes and the frocks, not to mention someones green cardigan inthe front row!

here are some home made blue frocks, that mother ran up on one of her many machines (she tried out a few models), no wonder she frequently got asked if we were twins!

so just for fun, which one is me?
