SCIENCE LESSONS

Geo and Theresu were learning about plants and animals. They are making slimy slime using by mixing borax, glue and food colouring. Moved onto making bubbles and how are they formed.

St George's day

It was the feast of St George on 23rd of April and at home there is someone celebrating name saint too. As soon as Geo woke up, everyone bombarded him with wishes, a winding soldier, play dough and he got really kicked in and kept saying its my feast day!.

In the morning, listened to the story and the legend connected to St George who is the patron of England too. After attending the Holy Mass, children went for athletics and in the eve was the dalcrose lesson, obviously children had a tough day. Prepared some shields for Theresu and Geo, in the meantime, I stick in the oven the homemade dragon bread and some scones with red cross of St George.

Kids used some of the printables from 'real life at home blog, used resources from catholic cuisine and catholic icing. Had a fab meal in the evening and enjoyed the day.

Catholic mothers Conference

Conference for the catholic mothers was amazing experience especially meeting many other families of bigger and smaller in numbers. Many homeschooling mums were there. Another great experience was meeting Giann's s daughter and her testimony, which stunned me and put me in a right direction to look upto where God wants me to. Many JY'S were there to attend the conference. There were lot of nice sessions from different speakers and moreover I  enjoyed the delicious meals. Children and jochayan stayed with Cijo and enjoyed some places .

It was a fabulous day. Thanks be to Lord.
