We’re heading into the final week of term, which is pretty exciting for the kids. We had grandparents day at school, and the kids played violin, which was well received.
It was also public speaking week. Huff had to give a 1-minute speech, and Puff a 3-minute speech and a 1-minute impromptu. Dad spent some time with them helping them prepare (and especially with understanding what’s involved in the impromptu, which he hadn’t really tried before).
Huff had her first sleep over, at her grandmother’s house. She was so excited. So excited.
Puff had a science weekend to go to, where he learned about slime and other chemistry things. To help him keep his step count up, Puff and Dad went for a walk each morning. He was keen to chat about nothing in particular, but it’s good to keep the lines of communication open.
Huff spent some time gardening with her grandmother. She seems a big fan of gardening now.
Here’s Puff after the first day of science. You can see he looks a bit weary.
One of the things they learned in their science was how to remove the shell from an egg (left). Puff came up with “can you shell the difference” as a hashtag for this photo, which makes Dad proud for all sorts of reasons.
