I found some posters that my mother brought way back when and Helena is colouring them in. I kinda thought of this as a filler activity, a little mindless fun. H thought differently…

so far we have used many reference books (contents, index, scientific names vs common names), she has used the internet to look up different birds and has been using her prior knowledge to identify and colour the birds and plants accurately.

Science and research I think. Though I suspect that this is not what the person on the radio yesterday, saying how primary schools don’t do enough science, meant!
