Instead of using this blog to schedule Catherine's work I'll now be using it to record what she's done after the fact.
Today, we started verbs in Winston Grammar and did some work on the Greek letter Omicron. In math Catherine did some multiplication practice and some venn diagram activities. We've been reading about set theory so I thought it would be a good time to introduce the Venn Diagrams. She immediately recognized them from colour-blending diagrams.
I've also printed out some nice logic puzzles from this link that she want to do later.

Yikes! First no internet and then the flu...This poor blog has suffered in the last week. I'm not sure how you will be feeling today so let's take it easy.
- Greek
- Grammar
- A couple of sheets of multiplication.
- Reading. I'll read Prince Caspian and Mathematical Ideas.
If you have any extra energy we'll bake cookies for your Girl Guides meeting and read and research some stuff from I-Science (your choice).

It's Darwin Day today! Hopefully we'll be starting to watch a PBS Nova series on evolution but until then we'll celebrate by reading a small biography of Darwin and an article on cat evolution.
Of course, we'll also be doing the normal stuff:
- Greek
- Grammar
- Multiplication. You'll be doing a worksheet but we'll also be going over a worksheet on the factorization of integers. Don't worry, they're big words but easy ideas.
- Valentine's Day stuff! We've got to make cookies for your Guides troop and you've got to do up the cards you'll be giving out.

Let's take today a little easy. Daddy is leaving today for a couple of weeks so I don't imagine you'll be too focused. Still, let's get some stuff done.
- Greek
- Grammar
- Multiplication quizes and crosswords.
- I-Science. Let's read the rest of the first chapter and then explore the internet, Brainpop and our bookshelves to find what else we can learn about that chapter.
- We've got those two new card games, Sherlock and Eye of Horus plus the old one, Quiddler that we haven't played so why not try them out today at some point.
- Find something new for me to read. Read Owls in the Family. Yes, you have to. You keep putting it off but it's time to put some work into it Missy.

Remember what I said yesterday about having a math day today? I was serious. No Greek. No Grammar. Just math.
- Multiplication quizes
- Decimals. Let's see how far we get.
- Islamic patterns.
- Finish the Math Cats grids.
- Square numbers. I want you to draw them on graph paper and also find them on your times table.
- Do the riddles I printed out yesterday.
- Help me do some math activities with the little ones.

The work:
- Grammar
- Greek
- Your carrots and parsnips have either shoots or roots. It might be time to try them in wet soil. Transplant them from the dish with water and we'll see how they do.
- You had questions about Lent so we'll read some information about it from this page.
- We need to do some reading. Pick a couple of books to read to Harry, read some of Owls in the Family and I'll read The horse and His Boy.
- Listen to Story of the World and work on your painting.
- Have some quiet time at some point and do this activity. I've printed out a copy for you and you'll need some colours.

There was no work yesterday because you were at your grandmother's but we do have stuff to do today.
Here goes:
- Greek
- Grammar
- Multiplication quizes
- Decimals- work on them for 30 minutes
- Story of the World
- Art project
One change we're going to make is that after this post I'll make another at the end of the day to show some of what you worked on. This will let Nanny and others see what your work looks like and also give me a way to record it.
Now on to your lolcat picture.

So you're going to your grandother's house today. That means we'll have to get your work done early. As per our discussion yesterday, spelling is off the list. It's one of the things we can sacrifice to loosen up our day.
The work:
- Greek
- Grammar
- Multiplication quiz
- Decimals: See how much you can get done in 30 minutes.
- Science: We'll look at your textbook and see where that takes us. It's about the moon so howsabout we check out Brainpop and see what they have? Also, let's do the related activity in your I-Science workbook. It's going to take us about a month to finish and involves observation. Think you can guess what it might be?
Special treat: What is today's lolcat reffering to?
