Days like these!

Another one of those God I just want to curl up in a ball in bed days that turns out to be very productive despite the odds! The Medieval project is really going well – very much helped by BBC4’s medieval season. So far we have watched the lead up and effects of the Battle of Hastings, created a medieval time line, worked out who was on the throne and what they did and coloured in a section of the Bayeux tapestry. Today T started copying out the main section of the timeline and we covered from William the Conqueror to Henry the 1st and then thanks to a luffly gesture from a friend who sent us a fab medieval pack we explored the Feudal System and used cut out cards with pictures and statements to compound what T had just learned. That and the 20 mins on EC as well as reading us his latest book “Captain Pepper’s pet” from the “I can read series” made for a rather surprising day! Not bad for a preggy Mummy with glands the size of apples and a mood on her like bear with a sore head! So one in the eye for the “how will you cope?” brigade!!!
