Another Week

Hannah had her first ever sleepover away from home this week. She had such a lovely time! She hasn't stopped talking about all the fun she had ever since she got back!

She has also had a riding lesson and had fun doing some races and small jumps.

We have been doing lots of math at home and science. Hannah has been working her way through the human body and has looked at the digestive system and the brain. She has also been making up her own lapbook on mythical creatures which i will photograph when it's finished.

We had some new friends over yesterday which was so nice. We are planning to see each other again soon. Hannah was really happy to find someone new to share her love of American Girl dolls with as they are still a big part of her interests. Her collection is up to 7 dolls now and she still has plans for more!

Dressed for dancing!

St Lucia's Day December 13th.

Yesterday we had a little celebration for the Swedish 'St Lucia's Day' as Hannah has been enjoying learning about all winter festivals and saints days recently.

I needle felted her a little St Lucia girl (she loved her!) and we lit candles and read the story of St Lucia. We also ordered  'Kirsten's Surprise' - the American Girl book which has St Lucia's Day in the story.

Happy Days

This week all the schools went back to school, and we went to Barnham  to meet up with friends and ride bikes. Six families had the park to ourselves, it was so peaceful - the children all had fun, fresh air and exercise while we enjoyed the sunshine.

Hannah also started this school years work this week. Multiplication was first on the list.

 We are also using these books which I love!

 And today she has had some new friends over for American Girl play. Three lovely girls all around Hannah's age and their mother came for the afternoon - we had a really fun, relaxed time.

 Hannah's week also included a visit to Grammy's house, skyping with friends, playing minecraft and Always Ice Cream and she even managed a swim in the (pretty cold now) pool !!

A Great New Math Book

Hannah is a big American Girl fan and already enjoys using their Writing Smarts book to help with her language arts, so she was really pleased when I found Math Smarts on Amazon!

It's really great - fun, helpful and full of confidence giving tips and tricks!

I would definitely recommend it to any AG fans if you can get hold of a copy!
