Tuatara by Simon Willison, on Flickr
Today was a slow start.
After waking up when daddy got up for work, she jumped into bed with me and went back to sleep and didn't wake up till about 9:20am.
So after the usual morning jobs were done and having breakfast were done. Tuatara slowly eased into some set work.
I came up with the idea of planning and preparing for a pretend party, which Tuatara quiet liked the idea. So we will pick off a couple of activities off this list over the next few days.
Tuatara started off with choosing a theme, which since it is coming up soon, she chose Christmas.
She designed a small version of the big banner she will paint and decorate on another day.
Then she drew a design of a cake in her theme and drew a picture.
Then Tuatara wanted to experiment with some face painting/ crayons she bought the other day. She used the iPad to get some ideas, tried to imitate one, then changed her mind, cleaned her face and then made her own design of a tiara.
She then did Spelling City with a new word list based on words associated with the human body. First day today, so she got to observe the list while doing the practice activities of crossword, word search, alphabetize.
Then she did 4 pages out of her maths work book. It was on subtraction but in the form of what change would you give if you bought this item with this amount. The fake money we bought in the variety store the other day came in handy for figuring out the answers.
Then Tuatara cut out pictures/diagrams of the different systems of the body and matched them with the right label and gluing it to our giant diagram of the human body.
Last set activity was finding the destination of the pit stop on the last episode of The Amazing Race.
At the variety store we also bought some water beads for $1 a packet. They take 8-10hrs to absorb the water. So it will be interesting to watch theses change. Apparently once the water evaporates out of them, you just add more water.
Tuatara's penguin egg has also hatched and grown too. Tuatara was a little disappointed it didn't come out looking like she had imagined.
Now she is happily engrossed in her mine craft and YouTube.
