The other day E5 and I were weeding the flower bed and after making several piles of weeds on the path, E5 got the broom out to sweep up. She swept the path from one end to the other gathering up the piles as she went until she was struggling to push along a huge pile of weeds.
“This pile is getting a bit cumbersome Mum.”
“Yes, it is! Where did you learn that word?”
“I don’t know.”
Later she remembered that it was from Word Girl…something she’s been playing with on the PBS kids website.
“Cumbersome means bulky and awkward” she told me later in the day.
This is B3’s finished painting number 1.
And his second one. His hand is in the photo to ‘make it cooler’.
E5’s first one…
and her second one.
R1’s painting was quite cute, but he tore it and screwed it up when I wasn’t looking.
E5 wanted to write to her friend. She asked me to help, so I wrote out what she wanted to say and she copied it. Writing a real letter to a friend is way more fun that doing a worksheet, or copying words in a book! She’s quite excited to see if she’ll get a reply.
