This morning the girls wanted to make an early start with the glitter. U is wanting to join in more and more now. The second hand (already written in) workbooks which I used to keep her happy with are no longer good enough for her, she wants clean ones. She wants to do whatever Ia is doing, maashAllah.
And so, another HE day.
While the girls used the glitter the boys did their Quran work, then I cleaned up the spilt glitter and we all recited some of the short surahs together. After that the boys finished off a story about being lost in a rainforest which they started yesterday and Ia used Education City for a while. Next up the boys took turns to do some French on the computer, while the other read a book on peoples of the grasslands.
By this time it was time for me to make lunch, so they all got time to go off and play. U took her turn on the computer, using Poisson Rouge. She has got the hang of clicking and moving the mouse, but can't manage click and drag yet.
After lunch and zuhr there was some colouring in the garden, some playing with a ball, some more work on "Traders in Wooden Ships", some maths for Ia and the boys, and then the lessons were over!
Remember our triop? Our lone triop is growing everyday (it is about 1cm long now). It no longer needs heat from the lamp, and is eating plenty. It is a bit like having a goldfish now really. It swims about the tank, and ....that is kind of all it does! But it looks a lot stranger than a goldfish, and sometimes it almost does a flip out of the water.
