Maya decided to make up her own board game yesterday. Okay, so it was more of a floor game. It was called “Here we go round the monster” , and was based around a painting of a monster she had done. You had to follow a path of long white paper to get to the [...]

Fancy Letters to ‘Tomten’
Posted in Letters and Numbers, Seasonal on November 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Indeed. This year Father Christmas (Tomten) will receive some rather posh letters from Leon and Maya, made with glitter, sequins and computer cut and paste. Plus Leon added a special mat for us to leave his cookies on!
Leon only asked for one specific Lego kit, while Maya wrote her usual list of oddities, including a [...]
Writing Collage

Maya loves to write at the moment, and she had the idea of cutting out pictures of things that she liked, and writing what each one of them was before sticking them on to a large piece of paper. It was quite good because Alfie joined in too, pointing to things that he liked and [...]
Writing Stories

Right now Maya is having explosions of writing stories! She just sits down and writes lines and lines …. lots of capital letters and not many spaces … but it all seems to make sense somehow!

Today Maya read me three books, entitled “Mac”, “Sam” and “Dot”. These are what my children fondly call “The Bob Books”. I bought them in California, and I’m not really sure why because they really are very silly and non-sensicle, but evidently that style of reading book works for my children as they both learnt [...]
Apples

Everyday the kids play in the garden for what can be hours, and everyday they pick an apple or two to munch on, despite the fact we really should leave them for a couple of weeks to “mågen” (ripen).
Being the teacher that I am, and the fact that Maya is not due to start real [...]
Maya’s books

Lately Maya has really got into writing small books. The story lines are pretty much the same, though the animal involved changes, but they’re pretty fantastic to me!
Yes, right now she insists on putting full stops between every word!
L is for lake

Leon’s school was closed today, and as it was another beautiful sunny day, and we are doing letter L, we decided to go down to the lake.
I love the above pictures because all the kids are in their own worlds looking at things – I’m not sure what however? Perhaps the ducks, or the geese [...]

Leon has been off school for most of this week with a cold (no, really, it’s true!), but I decided to practice my teaching skills anyway…
