Bristish Isles Week

 This week we stopped at the British Isles on our Around the World Homeschool tour. We probably did more activities from Englash, but also tried to include Scotland, Ireland and Whales.

Books:

Here is what we read in addition to our spines.

Fiona's Luck

Will's Words: How William Shakespeare Changed the Way You Talk

Where's Will: Find Shakespeare Hidden in His Plays

The Story of London

Hattie and Hudson

June Almeida, Virus Detective!: The Woman Who Discovered the First Human Coronavirus

Out of This World: The Surreal Art of Leonora Carrington

The King With a Horse's Ears: An Irish Graphic Folktale

Sometimes homeschool with a little sister goes smoothly, sometimes less so.

Activities:

London maze from Around the World Mazes

Flags from Little Passports

We do use our learning globe every week.

Recipe:

We tried Cock-a-Leekie Soup from Scotland. Everyone liked it, but I thought it was a bit more work than it was worth.

Read Aloud:

We read Ms Frogbottom's Fieldtrips: Long Time, No Sea Monster. The story was cute and simple, but it was a good push for my little guy who hates anything even slightly scary.

Art:

He drew and colored a double decker bus from Art For Kids Hub.
