Adventures in Narnia

We read chapter nine this morning. Kids were more fidgety than usual - I really don’t know how people manage to read more than one chapter of a book out loud in one sitting - either my lot just aren’t used to it, or they all have ADHD or something! One chapter is about our limit.

Anyway, it’s one of my favourite parts of the book, I love the idea of the animals coming up from the earth, and the birds flying out from the trees as Aslan sings.

Words for today were ‘lilting’ and ‘ostentatious’. After reading the chapter, between us we’ve done all the assignments from the study guide today.

One was a Bible one, just looking at verses describing Jesus’ place at Creation, so we did that together. On reading ‘He is the image of the invisible God’ Josiah rolled his eyes, looked at me, and said ‘I *know* they’re both invisible’

The second one was to make a plant notebook either by looking at real plants or encyclopedia pictures, so Anna’s been doing that. She’s actually just done a miniature book, but she’s working really hard on it, and it looks beautiful so far.

The third activity was to draw a big tree, cut out birds from magazines and make a collage, but we didn’t really have any suitable magazines so Abbie decided to do a drawing instead, which she’s worked equally hard on.
