Lots of playing, education, even wrapped up a couple of things from my todo lists. Never as much as I want to do, but maybe that’s something I just need to make my own peace with.

Big focussed on word lists. I printed her out the Jan Brett ones, and then found a site with online spoken examples She’s on the blue dinosaur atm 😉 She must have spent the best part of 3-4 hours on it today, not quite sure how many weeks worth of literacy hours that is all wrapped up in one!

Small played on cbeebies and adiboo, and they both spent time upstairs in the tent in their bedroom, and charging around the garden being monsters. I even managed to do a bit of weeding on the drive, very small bit, but at least I’ve started.

And tonight I’ve worked on word lists and watched Sharpe. A good evening.
