How Shasta set out on his travels

Listened to the first chapter in the van yesterday - and loved it, thank you so much Liz :)

Vocab words - there were lots more than this listed in the study guide but I picked one for each child to look up the meaning of and listen out for during the chapter. Anna had ‘wheedle’, Abbie had ‘jargon’, and Josiah had ‘dappled’.

Was planning to look at horses as suggested by the study guide, but never quite got round to it. Links are here just in case we do, one day. I had prepared for it, see!
Body parts of a horse
Kids’ horsemanship site with horse body parts listed, as well as saddle/bridle labelled pictures.

We picked up on the idea of having heard the same things day and night for years meaning that you don’t hear them any more, and stopped and listened in our house. Nothing too exciting to hear from here though, birds, aeroplanes at certain points, and the hum of cars on the motorway!
