- fed chickens
- did the Quiz at the end of Module One on Smartkiddies (scored 9/10)
- read 1 paragraph Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (HPGF) – she hated reading aloud, so sat and read to herself and asked for help with the tricky bits.
- made a mandarin and OJ smoothie with breakfast
- ran a sinkful of water and washed up some breakfast dishes
- read 2 paragraphs of HPGF (reading to herself in the living room and asking me for help when necessary)
- did the first unit in Module 2 (adding four digit numbers). Scored 15/20. Generally remembered the principles of addition with remainder but the unit had no means of physically recording the carry above the column so I think she was just getting confused most of the time. The unit should be done every day this week so we will see how she goes.
- 10:15 – break time. B and K are playing dress-ups and making a car out of a box.
- played on her computer (Rune Scape and a horse SIM game – I could hear her reading game instructions etc out loud)
- played Junior Trivial Pursuit – she won
- helped me tidy the playroom
- stayed discreetly in her bedroom while I had an almighty barney with K. That girl is getting much better at chucking a tantrum, and indeed at chucking things while chucking a tantrum. She is also every bit as stubborn as her Big Sister when she wants to be. Oh God, not two of them…
- made an omelette from her birthday cookbook (well, a scramble anyway, we don’t have a proper omelette pan)
- close examination of the “worms and bugs”; fed them more oatmeal
- more ‘puting, then afternoon TV
Monday
