Tuatara by Simon Willison, on Flickr
Well today we changed things again, as I think Tuatara likes change, but then don't we all.
I wrote a list of things I would like us to do today and Tuatara got to choose which ones she wanted to do first. I have also started to write next to each activity Tuatara completes in a day, what topics she is covering, to remind myself that she actually covers a lot in her day.
1st - Multiplication Sheet (Maths). A circle worksheet where she needed to fill in the blanks for her 3 times tables.
2nd - Do an activity out of the Human Body Unit Study (science, reading, spelling & handwriting) Reading about the different bones in the skull. The worksheet was a bit advanced and didn't really give enough information to help label the diagram of the skull given. So mum helped by finding a labelled diagram of a skull on the iPad.
3rd - Spelling City online (spelling, technology & reading). Tuatara chose a couple of activities to help practice her spelling words before she did the test. She did a crossword, word search and hang mouse and got all her words correct in her spelling test, which she was super happy about.
4th - Bake Pikelets for lunch (reading, maths & technology). Tuatara read and followed the instructions on the pikelet bottle mix and flipped them over carefully in the fry pan. Then the best part, got to eat them
5th - Monopoly (reading, maths) Tuatara has moved on from wanting to be a player and just hand out properties to wanting to be the banker. She kept telling me off if I gave her the answer when it came to giving out change Monopoly is such a great game for practicing addition, subtraction, multiplication and its a lot of fun too
6th - Mine craft Arts & Crafts (cutting, gluing, reading and following instructions). Tuatara needed to read instructions, then cut out, glue to card, cut out again, then fold and put together an 'enderman', 'Steve', 'dungeon base, ender world base and mine craft base', 'creeper'. Tuatara lost interest after cutting and gluing one of them, so we will return to this activity at another.
7th - Mine craft for 60min. Tuatara created a treasure hunt, where she put clues on signs. As she was showing me it, she realised she had forgotten a couple of things, so needs to go back and fix some.
Finished off the day watching some more The Magic School Bus on YouTube.
We also have a family thing where we climb into bed and watch The Amazing Race on the laptop. We are going to extend on this for the next season and place on a map of the world map pins, then tie a string to each pin to show all the places they go on each challenge.
