June

Pouring with rain all day is not unusual during the British Summer, or gale force winds, but not so when you find yourself putting the heating on for an hour to take the chill of the place.

Anyway, with the impending heatwave (believe it or not) due to arrive within the next few days, we spent today catching up with educational programmes, (computer and TV) and experiments as I anticipate that we will be making the most of the sunshine and will be outdoors from Thursday onwards.

So today has been mainly science topics. We have looked at different parts of the eye and its functions, started a soil experiment using soil from our allotment.   Bees - watched a children's schools programme on iPlayer all about bees and made honey cookies. Watched a Science programme about shadows, then played an online game on BBC bitesize about shadows made from sunlight and moonlight. Also had the usual reading hour, which includes reading programmes, apps, games and of course reading books.

Tomorrow weather looks bad again, so looking at Geography topics, maths and a handwriting.
