Tuatara by Simon Willison, on Flickr
Well we tried to start our day at a decent time. But going by Tuatara's mood, I figured pretty early that our day's expectations were going to change.
We started with the 4 times table work sheet. She tried to do it quickly to move on to the next thing. When I checked it I noticed she had got a few wrong. So I made up a card game to try and help her practice her 4 times tables.
Then she did 2 pages of her grammar and punctuation workbook on using 'a' and 'an' before words and nouns.
Then Tuatara did 4 pages of her maths workbook. She got so frustrated with herself and upset over doing graphs. All had to do was label the graph and look at what information it was trying to measure. Any way after all the tears and a walk down the road didn't change the mood. I changed everything all together.
So we cuddled up in bed and watched the movie Titanic. Had to stop it every couple of minutes to answer questions, which made a long movie even longer. But it was all good questions about which parts of the movie was real and which weren't. Why some people were treated different to others and many more.
Then to lighten the mood we watched High School Musical the first one.
So over all a really interesting day.
