Wordy Wednesday...

W is for:

What a terrible night. Miracle if today turns out ok.

Wish I had followed my instinct and not given Little Miss August 2009 something for tea that I thought might  cause problems... and it SO did...

Words - poetry, poetry set to music (John Taverner and Greta Bradman)...

William Blake - "Tyger Tyger" & "The Lamb"

Wow. All of a sudden, a cross-curricular unit study has sprung up out of nowhere, and bringing a number of strands together

Working hard. The children have done maths (Little H#1 and LittleH#2) and Little H#3 some self-starting phonics. I am so pleased with how he is getting on. We have also done music and movement to the Carnival of the Animals by Saint-Saens, drawing to that same music (Little H#2 drew the correct animal for each movement - his idea) and then we had processions of lions, jumping kangaroos, graceful fish, and some fantastic elephants. We ate our lunch to the Aquarium on repeat. ;) We also listened to the William Blake poem Tyger Tyger set to music by Greta Bradman and sung by her and a dear friend of ours. Need to look out The Lamb from Little H#2's Baptism recording. They can hear mummy and daddy singing that one!

Washing. Actually it isn't. W is not for Washing because I can't do any. All week. Machine broke (burned out rather nicely) on Monday, and a man is coming to either mend or condemn it tomorrow (Thursday). So actually W is for "Washing free Week". If school turns out this much better because I am also not trying to do washing, maybe I need to come up with a different plan for laundry.

Welcome Home. W is for welcome home because Matthew will be very welcome home tonight to a productive and happy house, much achievement, a happy mummy (miracle) and home made soup and cheese scones.

Oh, and Welcome Back Creativity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woilla! (sorry couldn't resist!!).
