Baking chocolate cakes for Grandma
Last night I went to see some fireworks with a friend. My favourite were the orange ones that climbed up into the sky, went BANG! and then flowed down like a weeping willow tree. Weeping willow trees are one of my favourite trees. Mummy is going to get some black paper so that I can draw them.
I’m very excited because I’m going out for Grandma’s Birthday tomorrow. It’s my cousin’s Birthday too. So I’ve been busy making cards and baking chocolate cakes for everyone. I did most of the baking myself and made chocolate muffins which I know Grandma likes. Mummy says I learn all about fractions when I’m cooking because we use cups. All I know is that two half cups are the same as a whole cup and four quarter cups are the same as a whole cup. But that’s what I like most about home education - I don’t even realise I’m doing work because everything feels like playing and fun to me.
Tonight I am sleeping infront of the fire in the lounge. It’s one of my special treats that I love to do. I like hearing the stories in the flames as they crackle and spit and I fall asleep feeling warm and cosy.
My front tooth is so wobbly now. I think it will fall out tomorrow. I hope so; it’s starting to annoy me and eating sometimes hurts.

To Verona, I hope you enjoyed the fireworks. My favourite ones were the purple ones and it was really fun when we went on the megga slide for the second time. I hope you liked the purple ones too.

I love your new website - it is so fresh and bright, just like you. I was very interested to see the picture of you making the chocolate muffins. They tasted just as yummy as they look and I’m so pleased that baking for my birthday helped you to understand fractions!
I enjoy fireworks too and I love weeping willow trees so much that I chose one for my front garden. I look forward to your next blog.
Grandma xx
To Hazel, my favourite ones were the orange ones because they went up in the air, exploded with a BANG and came sailing down looking like a weeping willow. I hope to see you next weekend xx
To Grandma, I’m glad you like my new website, I will be putting lots more new pictures on. I hope you will be looking out for them! Verona x
