How we homeschooled today #8

David Bowie, geometry, and water all over the floor

• Independent reading (maths books, Ramona the Pest, Jungle Book)

• Played cafes with water (developing careful, precise movements)

• Five year old continued working on his story

• Played our Orchard Toys Telling the Time game

• Ludo with two dice for adding practice

• Played with our wooden shapes and tried making hexagons out of 1, 2, 3 etc individual pieces (try these)

• Watched some gorgeous geometry videos (Notes on a Triangle and Hoberman spheres)

  

• Listened to Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf narrated by David Bowie while I got lunch ready

• Multiplication by Heart, followed by some times tables songs—Numberblocks (ugh) and Victor Johnson (much less grating)

• Chalk drawing outside and painting inside

• Squirrels and Beavers (Tiger Cubs) and mental maths

• Bedtime stories: Stuart Little and Chess for Children
