Dinosaur watermelon carving at Summer Mummy School

This week we have been learning all about fruit at 'Mummy school'

Because we are moving from Scotland to England over the summer holidays, the boys are going to end up being off school for 10 whole LOOOOONNNNNGGG weeks!

So, to help them remember everything they learnt to do so well this year, (and to stop me going quite so insane!), we have decided to go to 'Mummy's school' for an hour a day, while the smallest boy is having his morning nap. Each week we will choose a topic.

This week was fruit. This is what we have done;

Thought of every fruit we can think of.

Made a banana smoothie

Been shopping for a fruit we have never tried before, weighing it on the scales and buying it with coins.

Surveyed family and friends for their favourite fruit and drawn a bar graph

Coloured in pictures of fruit found on the net

Drawn our own pictures

Completed various fruit related literacy and maths worksheets (free online downloads)

Read a free online book about fruit that was really cute

Carved a watermelon into a dinosaur shape (after last years success with a shark - see here)

Gone to the library and got out books about fruit

We are going pick you own fruit picking at the weekend and we plan to make some fruit leather with the pickings.

Made a fruit salad.

Illustrated the seasons with the seasonal cycle of an apple tree

Next week will be the very original.... Olympics. Today we kicked it off by watching the torch procession come passed Nanny's house on the Skype video chat! It froze at the exact moment it came passed!
