We've had quite a quiet day today, although we've still got plenty done. This morning M decided that the time had come to continue with learning flags and capital cities. Despite not having done any of this for several weeks, she could still correctly name 100% of the European countries and capital cities when shown their flags. Today we worked on the 12 South American countries and although not completely confident on all of them, she has managed to get all of them correct the majority of the time. While we were doing this, K was continuing to work on her letter in response to one of the penfriend requests in Aquila.
This afternoon we continued with both Roman Britain (which tied in nicely to some building work we're about to have done, which includes replaces rather old lead pipes, as it mentions that Romans used them too) and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
Finally, K & M, cooked tea for the family. Under instruction and with some demonstration and a bit of help from me, they made bolognaise sauce and cooked pasta and prepared and cooked some veg to go with it. I had to help with draining the spaghetti and veg, because they haven't got strong enough wrists to manage on their own and K in particular needs to move a bit faster at times, but all in all it was a very successful enterprise and one that I think we can build on.
