End of School Holidays

Holidays are over and we had a lot of fun during the last two weeks. I have to admit that we did not do any school work at all, but I had a feeling that we all needed a break from our routine and doing school. I certainly enjoyed the break; however we still got exposed to a lot of new things. I taught Julia and Carlos how to sew, and Julia liked it very much and has already made a new dress for her Barbie. Carlos was so enthusiastic about it, that he started mending his bedspread. Yesterday we found a rock crab on the beach, he was very beautiful and we studied him for a quiet a while, before we released him again into the wild. As I have already mentioned we went to the see the movie “RIO , which is a story about a blue nearly extinct parrot. We wrote a story about this parrot, researched parrots and learned how to draw parrots. We did a lot of colouring in and drawing during the holiday break and I found a couple of very good interesting and challenging Puzzles, that we have been busy putting together, we all love to put our heads together and puzzle for hours. Tonight we are going to bed early and trying to get into our school bedtime routine again. That is the only thing that I hate about the holiday breaks, it is always hard to get back into our usual routine.
