they even have a timetable and they stuck to the timetable.. (they must be French as there is no school on a Wednesday) Perriod one: Technology. The top photo is the big kids class where they got nets of cars to cut out and assemble. The bottom is the junior class where they made sculptures…

My kid is sooo funny
She stuck this on the pantry door. It is total nonsense. Dad was totally fooled, he wanted to understand. The diagram was such that it implied some serious thought, something important. It has taken a gap (give the children time to respond, the child being me) to realise how clever this is. How un-observed she…
Keeping it real
Maybe this is technology.. either that or it’s just some random kind of learning. Now, a treasure hunt is a good thing if you want no client input. It’s all secret… and you can hang out undisturbed in your room. This was no whip up, that’s for sure. One morning, she even got up at…

Current passion…
H’s current passion is photography. She has been interested in an abstract way for a while, but since my cousin gave her a point and shoot camera of her own, her interest has skyrocketed. She has filled up a 16GB SD card. She, Ms shy, has even had a conversation with a photographer: getting advice…
