Ferdinand

We rowed Ferdinand and although I thought this would be short and sharp, it was actually really good fun and we managed to spread the row out over a week. I tried to make a time table and more importantly, tried to stick to it!!! I used the weekly planning sheets in the back of the FIAR manual and you know what, we did it!!!! Instead of my usual habit of blasting everything off in a couple of days we did a little bit each day and covered all of the main subject areas. All good! I've already blogged about this once but my computer was hungry and ate everything I wrote, so, here we go again.... ... ON the Friday before we started reading Ferdinand Mark and I took Sylvie to a tapas bar for dinner. We had a lovely time. The waiter helped her to count to 10 in Spanish and she really enjoyed chosing what she was going to eat and looking at the paintings on the wall. I felt a bit guilty about leaving the other two at home with dad but still, it's not like it's going to happen again for a longgggggggg long time! I think I might just have to spam you with photos 'cause I can't remember what we did - it's been such a long time! We've been camping and Mark's had a weeks holiday since we rowed Ferdinand! The next three photos show the girls writing and acting! We printed off some fantastic drama cards to go with Ferdinand. I basically flashed a picture card at the girls and they acted out what was happening, 'Ferdinand smelling the flowers' etc. They loved doing this! Blogger has decided that it doesn't want to upload any more photos so this will have to do for now.
