Ohhh Daisy is STILL painting everything in sight LOL...today she painted this little autumn angel which I cut out and helped her stick together once dry (DLTK a GREAT site for the little ones)...we are also mid-way through making toilet roll vases with paper flowers...very colourful ! Aideen is studying her Greek legends...she has choosen to be ARTEMIS, the Goddess of animals (wouldnt you know) and the moon for Noras play...I CANT wait to see the costumes and see the girls all dressed up ! Artemis has a wolf as her animal, but the best we can do is a toy husky dog that Aideen got for Christmas one year , hey , whos looking for perfection ! She has to make her bow and arrow and help make her helmet , but Nora is sewing the main part of the costumes...Artemis (aparently the Greeks believed that the sun and the moon were pulled across the sky by Gods and Goddess in their chariots) , well she was in charge of the moon...you learn something new everyday ! We brought our book in the local Book shop , and its great for kids aged 7-14 , full of information but not enough to make the mind boggle...enough is as good as a feast as the saying goes. Also today we made some of our Peace Pinwheels...and there was the "boring" stuff like maths,etc (has to be done) ! But we made it fun by seeing if we could come up with pur own ways of doing the sums...classes ended early today as Aideen had swimming so dinner has to be earlier as you cant go swimming on a full stomach, apparently as soon as Aideen had just gotten into the water Daisy jumped at down clapping and shouting "yeah Aideen" !!! Talk about support :0)
