Venus, Penguins, Carrots and of course the Rugby World Cup

Last  week our routine was a  little disrupted as I worked in the mornings (usually work weekends but covered for someone who was on leave).  I had planned on the regular English and Maths for J in the afternoon, but as I have always found with all three of my children in their primary years, they cannot focus so well past 1pm!

 So in the mornings with his Dad it was mainly dinosaur based, along with lots of  Lego building  and of course mine craft.

This week  B is at College and starts her Yoga class, D continuing with his study and  rugby training on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.  

J and I originally planned to visit Cockington with a Home Ed Group, but the forecast wasn't good so decided on The Dinosaur Museum.  I then discovered it did not open on a Monday so we ended up going to Living Coasts to see the Penguins, Otters, Seals and of course sea horses, which is part of the study for Cedric's Day At the Castle with Picture Book Explorers.

(I have to be honest, I did not continue with this as I dropped the book down the back of the radiator and couldn't get it out for ages, so Mike has just recently unscrewed the metal bits each side of the radiator to get it out - so will be back to following the activities for this book next week). Lol

Living Coasts

We have been covering English and Maths in the morning, and then going to the allotment in between showers.

Other topics we have covered:-

Canals - History of canals and how they were built and how the locks work

Science - why do our ears pop

              condensation

              astronomy 

Venus is quite bright early in the morning where we live so we looked at the facts and pictures about this planet

Geography - Locating all the countries in the Rugby World Cup on an interactive map.

Also swimming, rugby, lots of walking and having fun digging up carrots at the allotment

All that's left for me to say today is

COME ON ENGLAND!!!!!

England v Wales Saturday 8pm
