Arden

I decided to do grade 1 part time with Arden this year, to cover our requirements for homeschooling in WA.  It's been brilliant so far, he thrives on the focused activities, and is generally more content.

Here's some of his work.

His picture of the Golden Key.  This story was great to start with as we just painted our imaginings, and focused on what might be inside the chest.  A great Grimm's story for wondering.



The next week we moved onto the Three Billy Goats Gruff, and introduced some letters.



 

  


This week's story has been 'the Spindle, the Shuttle and the Needle'.





Just for fun, there was some building out of jenga blocks.  Arden came up with this ship.


We've been settling back into our usual routine this week, after a weekend away in Adelaide last week.  It was a little disruptive- our flight home was 6.30am Adelaide time, but 4am Perth time!  So we were up at 2.30am on Tuesday, I came straight home to bed, for a nap.
