Day 187
13th September 2022
Cyclops
We had a lazy morning today and started with history on the sofa, in pyjamas.
We read the story of Odysseus and how after his triumph at the battle of Troy, he thanked the gods for their protection and set sail for home.
However, he forgot to thank Poseidon, the god of the sea. Poseidon was enraged and created furious seas, that forced Odysseus to take shelter on an island.
On the Island they found a giant, strong beast, with one eye.
Cyclops!
Afterwards, we went to our sketch pads.
First, they both looked around Google, for inspiration.
I love their pictures! They did such a great job!!
Core
We put our drawings away and I made them a smoothie, while we began our core learning.
More spelling for Mila, along with homophones and reading.
Linc worked on his persuasive writing piece on Patagonia.
For maths, Mila worked on diagrams, graphs & number ordering.
Linc worked on the last pages of perimeter and area and somehow, we laughed our way through determining square roots.
Math’s is so hilarious, lately!
Basically, I try to tell him something. He looks at me like I’m a dinosaur, and then scribbles something so fast and so foreign to me, along with the correct answer! 😂
I didn’t get one word in today, he just kept shooshing me!
After maths, Mila made blueberry muffins!
Dad came home for lunch and we sat around with a cup of tea, before he left again, to meet his next client.
The kids played basketball outside for a while and then decided they wanted to make dioramas. 🤷♀️
The hunt for boxes was on. All the craft things came out and they got busy making their dioramas.
Then, Mila wanted to make more slime!!!
She made so much mess. AGAIN! (She also made perfume and anyone who walks through our door gets a spritz. Wanted or not).
By now, school was out and kids turned up for drama and basketball.
I quickly blitzed the house and was out the door.
We had a good learning day today.
Maths, English, history, drawing, cooking, creating, playdates & sport.
13 days of writing to go!!
Night. x
