Catch up again...

We have been excessively busy over the past few weeks, so here I am playing catch up again!

We have pretty much finished our work on the Celts, although Emily is enjoying it so much it still seems to be going on (and on and on...hello bored mother here). I think this has been helped by our local museums activity sessions on the Celts and the wonderful pages on the Celts at the BBC website.
We have started our work on weather, but as usual we are off to a slow start! I will have to get a little more organised. We have began work on our weather station, but it needs finishing - hopefully this week!
Emily has continued to enjoy using Mathletics and really hasn't needed much encouragement to do so.

But mostly, as always at this time of year, Mother Nature has been taking up our time.
We have planted peas, sweetcorn, parsley, cucumbers, tomatoes, squash, sweet peas, asters, pansies, chillis, peppers....
We have taken cuttings of various plants, chitted our potatoes and spent lots of time at the allotment.
Emily has really appreciated the opportunity to be outside again. The frogs in our pond have declared it to be Spring and the world seems to be waking up around us.
