STILL WET AND WINDY

Hi all

Now don't all fall off your chairs or splatter that cuppa over the floor, yes I am back today. Wow, two days in a row, hehe.

So what have we been up to? Actually it's been really wet and windy today, so we didn't venture outdoors at all. Decided to use the time to try and get back into the swing of doing the maths and literacy dailies. However, this didn't work out totally as planned.

Firstly I was awake at 5am and couldn't get back to sleep and Callum was awake a little earlier than he has been lately too, so we were both a little slow in getting it all together this morning. We managed to print off our Easter Bunny Hunt write up and then had a go at our new photo programme which prints posh backgrounds, inserts texts and generally tarts up the presentation. We've only used it once before so we are both still learning, but the photos to accompany the write up look pretty impressive with easter egg borders and labels. It just took us a little longer than normal to sort out, but its fun, pretty easy and we both know that after a couple more plays we'll be experts, haha.

While we were doing these Terri, my daughter/his sister, turned up with Merlin the dog, so we had a manic 5 minutes with a bouncy canine.

Dailies turned out to be a mixture of easy and a bit more confusing. The literacy was easy (surprisingly for Callum), but the maths wasn't as straight forward and we are going to have to go over it all again tomorrow when we have a bit more time to ourselves.

To add to this we were going to write up our science experiment, but discovered that, although we have the photos (see above and right), we seem to have lost the results!!! Oh well, good excuse to do it again and Callum did rather enjoy throwing stones into a tray of flour coated in cocoa powder to represent meteors, haha.

So, partly a successful day, partly not, but it's been fun and tomorrow is another day.
