Digory and his uncle are both in trouble
Read chapter 11 today. Vocabulary word was ’sagacious’, which I’d never heard of, so I’m learning as well.
After the reading we briefly talked about the Cabby’s reaction to having been asked to be King of Narnia, and compared it to reactions of Bible characters when appointed to do things - for example Moses (who tried giving a number of reasons why he couldn’t lead the Israelites out of Egypt), and Saul (who hid behind a load of bags when Samuel anointed him King of Israel).
The children then did the art assignment, which was just to draw a picture of Uncle Andrew being planted by the animals, and to include all the animals mentioned. This provoked huge moaning from Anna who decided she couldn’t fit all the animals into one picture, and she couldn’t draw dogs, or moles, or elephants. Hmmm. She then managed to produce a lovely picture, albeit with Uncle Andrew in the style of Elvis, as she was being stroppy, but it was quite amusing. Abbie worked hard on hers, and so did Josiah, he drew a fantastic elephant!

I’m really enjoying this - just wish we’d timed LWW for the same time as you really then i could have copied - can’t decide whether to buy the book or wait till you are done and re-start. Feel like it would be fun now in a way, not sure if it will be the same once they know the story.
