New Term Begins

Started today with English and Maths, then as India is our topic on the timetable today (not to be messed with lol) Mike and James tried their hands at Rangoli craft:

Then they watched Tough Rides India - Delhi to the Himalayan Foothills.

After lunch James and I went to Bernaville nurseries.  As part of his nature study, he will be planting vegetables and flowers on a patch on our allotment.

He also helped me on my parents allotment - harvesting a bountiful crop of beetroot, apples and purple carrots (of course there was a carrot in the shape of a penis 😄)

And there were only a few casualties that fell out of the wheel barrow on the way home 😀

India Project Planning

Planning so far for the next month:

India

The display for the wall has been printed and is waiting to be transferred from a pile on the desk to the actual wall.

The Geography of India, using resources from Twinkle.

Peacock Oil Pastel drawing from The Crafty  Classroom    Gandhi using resources from Twinkle.

Divali, using resources from Twinkle and making   
Rangoli, a traditional Indian decoration and patterns made with ground rice,used during festivals.  How to make it here.

In addition we will be reading an Indian folk tale each week from this website Indian Folk Tales, and also reading The Swiss Family Robinson ( and trying to work out why there are penguins on a desert island off the coast of India!)

We will be trying various recipes and of course we will be going over to the park to play one of India's favourite sports, Cricket.
