Today had a frosty start, and an icy trip to playschool to drop 'A' off. We then took Milo to Monkmead Woods for a change. 'J' recognised the 'No Horses' signs dotted about the place and was fascinated with the waterfalls and frozen stream in parts.
It was very cold, and poor 'J's wellies were not warm enough even with two pairs of socks, so when we stopped off at home to collect our friend and her little person we swapped them for snow boots. Happy feet!
We went into town and had a hot chocolate and got some bits and bobs. 'J' has a lion hat and as always got loads of comments and requests for roars. I think hes a bit bored by it all now as he just looks at them with a 'like I haven't heard that one before' look!!!
'A' did this picture today its inside his body, he got his teacher to label it for him with blood, bones and oxygen. They talked a little about the body after that and were very impressed with his knowledge on the subject. He said he was remembering the videos we watched on You tube of Once Upon a Time....Life and that was what he was drawing. He is still being very helpful, and is taking upon himself to help 'J' in certain tasks, the phrases 'here we go, let me show you, its better to do it like this' are often to be heard coming from him!
A few new maths tools turned up today; an abacus and some geoboards. 'J' keeps calling the abacus his satnav, which is funny but they have been using it for counting, 'A' helping 'J' not miss out numbers as he counts from 1 - 10. The geoboards kept them busy for ages, they enjoyed making up designs and it is good for motor skills. Again 'A' was showing his brother how best to get the bands on and 'J' made some interesting shapes.
