Wine

I really like this mini book. Mum learnt how to make it off the Internet and you use a piece of a shopping packet to make it work.

So once you pull the cork up.....

flaps come out the top and bottom.

Grandpa and Nana got to have REAL champagne when they went to France many years ago.

Privateers

The English actually started Privateering but eventually the French were doing it too.

Before we started this France study I had read about Adoniram Judson and how he was captured by French Privateers on his way to England. He became a famous missionary to the Burmese. He translated the Bible into Burmese and his Burmese-English dictionary is still used today.

Avignon Bridge

I enjoyed watching a few videos on people dancing on the bridge and singing "Sur le pont d-Avignon".

I like this bottom photo because it shows people on the bridge.

The Channel Tunnel

Nana said there is NO WAY she would go on a train under the sea. Even though she hates flying she said she would rather fly. I told her she could take the ferry though - that would probably be the least scary.

French Lap book started

We have started our French Lapbook. We have done all the reading and now will start on minibooks. I have made notes of information that I want to put in. Mum came up with this good idea to make the whole lapbook look like the French flag.

My visit with Lynn

Today I went to Lynn. We made a flower saucer. Then we went to the shop and I got an ice-cream and a pony magazine. Then we went home and had lunch. After lunch we went to tail the lambs. It took ages. I had to chase a lamb back. Then I went home. I had so much fun. It was a lovely day.

The long winter

We have started a narration station and my first task was to pretend I was the main character and write a journal entry.

Journal entry of Laura from “The Long Winter”
Pa was at the shop today and an Indian came in and warned everyone that there was going to be a blizzard that would last for months. Pa said we have to move to town. I do not want to go to town because then I will have to go to school because Ma wants me to be a teacher. I wish Mary was not blind because then I would not have to be a teacher. Mary would love to be a teacher and she loves school.
