Just a short post from me this week! Unfortunately we had some sickness in our house this week which wasn’t much fun but nevertheless presented an opportunity for learning.

As I explained in a recent post, Monday’s are cooking days! This week the girls made yummy scones and zucchini slice.

Now that we’re home we tested out our new marbling inks. Miss 3 especially loves them. We are still working on not using too much ink.

Some sketching at project time. Miss 5 is still interested in fairies and wanted to draw this castle from a beautiful book she got for Christmas. She also told me ‘this gives me an idea! I want to make a sculpture of a fairy!’ So we’ll be following that up next week.

Isn’t this cubby cute? It was a Christmas gift from the girls Aunty. It just slips over the dining table, and was custom made to fit our exact table. There was a lot of ‘secrets’ happening in there this week. (The cubby was made by PinkDaisieSkies)

Cutting felt to make a scene together on the felt board.

Unfortunately in the middle of the week, Miss 5 woke in the night with a fever that lasted a few days. First thing in the morning she began her research into exactly how her body creates a fever!

I love the funny little remnants of play I find about the place. Some Magna-Tile castles with some little people and an assortment of other things matched by colour.

Sensory play this week, lovely goop in the water table.

We received our next Little Passports package and this time we’re learning about Japan! I caught this little scene where the girls were pretending to make sushi. I think we’re going to have to try and make some!

For most of the weekend the girls were out and about having fun with their Nanna and Aunty! We had to keep them away from the house while this surprise was being built! A new cubby and swing set for their birthdays! Three very lucky girls. There is going to be lots of fun had in here.

Leave me a comment and let me know what you’ve been up to this week!
