It seems strange to report that school was good today, but we really did seem to hit our stride a bit – I’m sure we’ll take backward steps too. The kids did some individual maths and then we all investigated capacity and ended up estimating how long it would take to fill a 275 ml mug with a 5 ml spoon. Jamie performed the experiment to Alex’s great amusement. We also did some work analysing good book openings and then writing some of our own. There was great competition to come up with something really engaging which then turned into an improvised and then scripted play in rhyming couplets. Excellent fun.In the afternoon, we dived on a wreck in the Basse-Terre Bay. It was a good dive: calm conditions, lots of life, a big box puffer, a big Barracuda and the first time Jamie. Chris and I have dived together. We were able to do this because Alex had a companion on a good dive boat who took him snorkelling too.
A good day.
