all sorts of stuff going on
yesterday was Film Ed in the morning, which got me thinking, can I call it Media Studies when she fixates on a film for a week and watches it twice a day every day???? Anyway Charlottes Web was lovely, the teachers in the cinema were all really well behaved and several of them seemed to have laps big enough for several children at once in the sad bit which was nice to see. We also met up with another HE family who told us about violin lessons!
So later on we grabbed her violin and headed off there and for the princely sum of £1:50 she had a full hour with 4 other girls and apparently did very well. It’s a bit "Suzuki style" so no music and lots of being involved even if you can only play open strings etc and really perfect for her as she doesn’t see me as being someone who can "teach" her things, just someone who provides her with things to learn from so things like me correcting her bow hold were unacceptable in her view of the world!
Then it was annual re-qual time for Red Cross which, this year, we managed to do all in one night as someone managed to convince Brunhilda that actually you don’t have to do every last bit of the pack issued, just one bit from each section which made life much more simple! Aprilia has decided she now wants to do her Advanced First Aid Brownie badge so I need to arrange with Lola to go round and do that some time soon. She should sail through, there’s nothing too taxing in it for someone who has been watching it all going on round her for years!
Today we did violin practice then went off to JJs for a play, met up with A (really must think up a better name for them!) and co who invited Aprilia back to their house. This turned out to be very handy as my planned Rainbow meeting when down the swanny as the Charlie and Lola resources are no longer available on the Red Nose website so I had to replan tomorrow’s meeting. I found a really good activity which will fill the gap really nicely but it took some searching.
And then there was my next Freecycle "win" which is a set of 4 Dickens books including one that I need for my next course. So that’s my first one for having a good read of before it all starts then!
