We've been continuing our topic of space, we have started on a wall display which at the moment has all the planets in our Solar system on it and labelled. We are planning to find out a little more about each planet and stick notes on.
LA painted the planets, but wanted to do them in the correct colours, so she looked through an encyclopedia and found them all with no problem. It was another one of those - "where did you learn to do that?" moments. She didn't need to do worksheets and workbooks on alphabetical order to grasp the concept, and it made me realise that my thinking is still very much in the school mindset at times.
The swimming issues from last week were resolved, they now have 2 instructors in the group, which helped enormously. The child which needed the individual attention received more attention without having to resort to destructive behaviours and the rest of the group were able to continue.
We baked chocolate chip cookies yesterday, and LA's friend H came to play. LA is having a few issues with control at the moment, we are experiencing numerous tantrums and sometimes aggression on a daily basis. It's hard going, but I'm sure its just a phase. It is about control and her perceived lack of it, so we're trying to be adaptable - but obviously there are limits.
