Day One... trying to do a little blogging every day for the rest of this month...

Today the kids wanted to bake and as we're trying to be child led in our learning, we baked! Jellybop chose to bake a Victoria Sandwich cake from the awesome Mary Berry's Fast Cakes book. She wanted to bake little cakes as well so doubled the mixture.  The little cakes were so huge that there was only enough mixture left for one layer of sponge for the Victoria, oops.  It will be great with custard!
Legoboy picked meringues.  We've never made them by whisking the whites and sugar in a bowl over a pan of hot water. But they turned out fine!



After the washing up was done they decided to do a bit of drawing and made morphed together Moshi Monster pictures

The afternoon was PE, they fished out the Wii and played Wii Sports and Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games for two hours without falling out with each other.


Verdict...good day!

Modelling Clay Activity

After some pretty tricky Maths on Education City this afternoon and a Film Review of Dolphin Tale 2 the kids decided to play modelling clay, this first photo is Daddy and Mummy by Jellybop.
The second photo is Uncle Steve without his beard, by Legoboy!  It will be added later when there is more charge in my phone battery!
