Library books

I was very used to my old blog style. I don't bother to change things often. The look of something doesn't interest me too much, but because of the little arrow marks on the old template just where the date was I kept thinking there was a grubby fingerprint on my screen, when in fact it was the overlapping template. I would have probably been too lazy about it to make the change until blogger put that new design thing right in front of me!

The library books in the picture have helped keep the girls busy over the weekend, maashAllah. The Usborne Science make and do book has lots of fun activities inside. It is not really that scientific, as it doesn't explain the science behind the activities, but the activities are fun for exploring and building experiences. The girls have made shadow puppets and floating ice boats this weekend.

Since having the opportunity to handle a lizard recently Ia has become quite interested in them and picked out some lizard books from the library this weekend. She has been reading through them independently, maashAllah. She is very interested in animals at the moment, in fiction and non-fiction books, maashAllah. Last week she read about barn owls and large mammals. Having given her thoses reminders to read regularly I now findthat she has developed this into her own habit and I no longer need to remind her often, alhamdulillah.
