Our first day of school!

Well today was the day and I tried to keep it as I pressured as possible I started by drawing pictures of everything we wanted to achieve by the end if the day on the chalkboard so my little one could
rub the off as they were done 

This worked well and we had completed everything by the end of the day although we didn't really start until 1pm! 

We started the day by going to the park and the kids had a fantastic time

Then on our return we had some lunch and watched a bit of muzzy spanish and that was really the first formal learning we had done all day and that wasn't even on the plan!

When that was over my eldest customised her avatar on study ladder and then did a bit of English work followed by playing on khan academy and at this point I don't think she realised she had done any learning as far as she was concerned just playing. 

We then started to build a castle out of sugar cubes... Something that is an ongoing project so will keep you posted 

After this a bit of blackberry picking......

And then we returned home to start using our James Dyson foundation ideas box and coloured in what we think a design engineer should look like

I think they a rather good for a 5 yr old (left) and 3 yr old (right)

All in all a fantastic first day of the term and looking forward to many more fun filled days!!!!!!!
