On The Hour

Our unit study this past week has been on time.  Pip has copied poems relating to the months of the year and the number of days in each month.  Today's challenge was to take a photo on the hour from rising to retiring.  In this way we would not only be tracking time, but activities throughout the course of the day.

7:00am ~ Pyjama clad Pip having fun with magnetic tessalations.

 8:00am ~ Post breakfast spelling test with a little bit of help from Maisie Mouse!

 9:00am ~ Multiplication worksheet en route to college.

 10:00am ~ colouring in said worksheet at Barton Grange.  I nearly took a photo of their completed Christmas displays but recanted, the whole thing is just ridiculous :-(

 Pip being silly, Moi very tired!

 11:00am ~ Dad using the flip screen function on my camera, whilst I popped into the GP surgery to deposit a whole slew of Diabetic Sharps Bins.

12:00pm ~ Now home and working in her English book, followed by copywork of The Harvest Moon  poem.

 1:00pm ~ Working on the water clock.

 2:00pm ~ Having a well deserved coffee break after having prepped a fruit bread and whilst waiting for it to rise.

 3:00pm ~ One Harvest Moon Scarecrow all decorated and waiting for his second proving in the oven.

 4:00pm ~  Round two of the college run and  looking just a wee bit tired.  All I can say is thank goodness Dave did not take a picture of me at this point!  I was feeling well and truly wrecked ;-)

 5:00pm ~ Almost home, just stopping by to post some letters.

6:00pm ~ An almost empty plate.  Salad, pate and rice crackers were demolished fairly quickly :-)

7:00pm ~ One Harvest Moon Scarecrow completely finished.  If you look closely you just might see, a tiny mouse like nibble at the very bottom!!  I wonder was Maisie Mouse the culprit or could it have been Little Miss PJ?!

We searched high and low but no Harvest Moon could be found, so this treat was a welcome supper just before bed.
