* told me what she remembered about erosion and what she had observed from her sandpit play
* postcard filing, and tidying up the folder to present at Cubs this week
* drawing (started making a book of artwork for Hazel)
* wrote a thank you letter to Helen and David, with some assistance with spelling
* watched the Steve Irwin Memorial Service (recorded from earlier) and talked a bit about grief and mourning
* maths (revision)
* repeated reading (fluency): How To Talk Dog
* independent reading: A Cat and a Dog: read it out loud, with some assistance in decoding words, then read it over silently to herself (only needed help with one word)
* told me a story about a train – in contrast to a lot of her stories, in this one she set the scene and introduced the character in the beginning, and had a rhythmic plot which came to a dramatic climax and had a nice, neat ending
* I Googled for photos of the kind of erosion she was talking about, she preferred this one.
* read about the life of Andrew Carnegie
* went swimming with Nannie, then out to the farm for the night – took A Cat and a Dog and How To Talk Dog with her
