This week Aideen is busy designing a wallpaper for the Homeschool computer screen , and it also entails writing stories (in comic strip form)...Ella was down Sunday and the girls had an impromptu art and poetry lesson. and much excitement to be had , Renee and Erin Beth sent letters not just to Aideen and Daisy , and also Ella, Sadhbh and Caoimhe....so letter writing high on the list ! Also Aideens written a poem for the Fanzine for Dee`s shop "Lucys Lounge" , check out her great blog !
All week Aideen has been working on her wolf project...well done Aideen another A+ !!!!!! As well as getting books and a dvd at the library , Aideen also used EDHELP (Thanks Jennifer !!!!) and the National Geographic site to gather lots of information on this amazing creature. She picked the wolf as her animal of the month as halloween is just over...soem amazing ,amazing facts came to light , (this kid is a walking animal encyclopia)...worryingly this beautiful animal is now endangered...especially the grey wolf of America , as its being hunted , etc. But great project aideen and Daisy even got in on it ,hanging the project up on the kitchen door with "dicky tape" :0)
another busy but fun week here at Scoil dai....of course lots of Halloween crafts being made...and Daisy is very busy painting...Aideen and myself are cutting up her dried paintings and making them into our Christmads cards so that way Daisy has "helped" make our family cards too :0)
Hi friends ! Remember a while ago we posted photos of us planting pumpkins in the garden here at Scoil Dai??? Well Oscar thought it would be fun to dig them up ,so our idea of having pumpkins this year grown by ourselves didnt quite work out ! We were hoping there would be pumpkins in the local shops and yesterday Sean came home with a great one ! Now , we discovered that our HS friends Sadhbh and Caoimhe never actually carved a real pumpkin before so we just had to remedy the situation ! They came over today and all enjoyed a fun pumpkin carving evening...we also gave them the seeds and pulp to bring home and some choc chips along with our fav halloween recipie for pumpkin and choc chip muffins (yummy) but Naughty HS mommy Nora ate all the choc chips !!!!! Never mind the girls are cooking their muffins tomorrow and will posting the results on their blogspot (abc123) so be sure to check them out ! Thanks for making the evening such a fun one guys , as always great to have you over !
a grand selection of books we got today in the local libraries book sale...science, geography ,history and english books all for a song !
Our "school pet" Henrietta comes out to play :)
"for every task that must be done there is an element of fun..." just as Mary Poppins sang, here at Scoil Dai we believe chores can be great fun :0)
Note from Aideen : DON`T forget to feed the birds now, its really getting cold and also leave some water for them too :0)
