French: alphabet, numbers, animals, coloursWe sang along to this video which we discovered ages ago and love dancing like the worms! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnrTrbJ6mYsMatthew and Anya then completed a worksheet from Twinkl on French numbers and we watched another video to learn colours and write them out |

French artists, geography, history, foodComplete fail on this one. Matthew was busy with Lego and Anya and Zach were having fun in the garden and it seemed a shame to disturb them. I did get Anya to make a natural symmetrical sculture which was a task set by her school so I did manage to sneak in a tiny bit of work! |
