Construction site


Nick’s morning involved Steve and Teddy coming around to help him construct a framework upon which to fasten the bamboo over the braai area. They did what they needed to do, so that when Nick is ready, he just needs to drill a few holes and can then bolt the angle-iron to the walls. Don’t ask me for any more details! That was on the go from about 10.15, so the boys could watch for a while during our break, and then while the one was busy reading for me, the other could watch etc. Maureen also came for a while after her craft group, so when we had a lunch break we all had tea together outside, dodging the washing! We didn’t finish school before lunch, but just had two more books so it didn’t take long. In the early session, the boys had to write a journal entry. I had to first explain the whole concept, which Caleb caught on to, but I had to really help Aaron quite a bit, which is fine as it was a new concept. The point was for them to write down their own thoughts about life in their own writing and their own spelling, and then as the year goes on we will do them again, to see the progress in their spelling, handwriting, and hopefully, thoughts! The results were interesting, and very good.
