Fruits of labour

Just thought I should show you some of the things the kiddies have been busy with. J came home from woodwork today with a beautifully hand crafted bowl. I just love the patterns of the natural grain of the wood. It just smells so good too. He also brought home his copper candlestick holder. It took a lot of patient work and it is not something he would like to do in a hurry again. At least he tried and produced something beautiful!
The younger two have been having great fun creating a Marsupials lapbook. We love doing this instead of a written project. There are so many amazing lapbooks online that are free and one can find them to suit anything that is being learned about. The children love being creative and adding their own bits and pieces ,slogans and drawings.

So as we head into the last school day of this week, we will hopefully finish off the Marsupials lapbook and get some more reading time in. I just love cuddling up on the couch with my brood and enjoying stories with them. We are busy with the Jungle Book now. It brings back fond memories of seeing the movie as a little girl with my gran. She got very cross with my sister and I for laughing at her when she closed her eyes when Kaa (the snake) was on the screen. She was terrified of snakes and couldn't even stand seeing the animated version! Of course we thought that was hilarious.
