The first joke and other matters
Read chapter ten today 
The girls are definitely getting more out of the reading than Joe, although he is enjoying the story as well, his concentration span just isn’t quite there. Anyway. Vocabulary words today were ‘faun’, ’satyr’, and ‘naiad’, all useful words to know I suppose 
After the reading we looked at one of the Bible activities together - the study guide was making the comparison between Uncle Andrew’s reaction (of convincing himself that lions can’t sing & animals can’t talk) to Aslan/the founding of Narnia, and the Pharisees in the gospels who refused to hear Jesus’ message. An interesting parallel, not sure I would have got there myself, but there we go.
Trying to get TMN finished before next Friday because a club that the girls go to is starting to ‘do’ The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe there as well, so it would be good to try and align/tie in with that. I think we’re just about on track
