Weekly Report

Another busy week...

Even so, we still managed to bake some gingerbread men.

The smaller gingerbread men took a dip in some milk.

For our Advent and Christmas Unit, we read Jingle, The Christmas Clown, The Clown of God and The Night of Los Posadas.

For our standard lessons, in Ancient History Munchkin read about Roman Gods and a few more chapters from the Roman Mysteries book Pirates of Pompeii. She also watched a video on Roman Myths and Legends and Horrible Histories: The Rotten Romans. For Australian History, we read about how Governor Arthur Phillip dealt with the food shortages in Sydney. Munchkin used several paragraphs from this chapter for her copywork.

In Science, we continued with our look at Mammals. Munchkin began reading The Story of Russ the Australian Tree Kangaroo by Leslie Rees. Also, Munchkin will be doing a report on a mammal. Her chosen animal is the Red Panda. We discussed what sort of information she should include in her report and she came up with sub-topics such as Anatomy, Diet, Habitat and Lifecycle. To refresh her knowledge of lifecycles, I had Munchkin read Which Came First? by Freddie McKeown.

Finally, in Maths we continued working on unit conversions and long division.

During all our hard work Teddy managed to keep himself occupied by playing

and sleeping.
