It's a short week due to Easter remembrance starting on Friday. I shan't wax eloquent in this small intro to our week ahead, but will say that we have enjoyed going through Out of Many Waters ~ Green (SL 7) as a family read aloud. I've read it before, but Daisy has never heard it so Dn picked it up to read it out aloud to all of us. The ending is a little less than Dn & Daisy hoped it would be.... I won't add any spoilers here for those that haven't read it yet.
Next week is our end of term break, and we are all looking forward to that.
For my critter love friends I've included a few natural science pictures near the end of this post ♥

Our family enjoys poetry and so this course is nearly a custom made fit for Jay. We are tweaking and modifying, just a little, how we are using this guide as we go along.

Emperor (Moths) Caterpillars. One caterpillar, Nehemiah ;), has entered his cocoon. So interesting to watch! He changed to the colour shown in the photo the night before he started spinning his cocoon.

PS: Look who we found in the pigeon loft; two squabs! Totally unexpected as we've been diligently removing the eggs so that we wouldn't have any more pigeons. Ha ☺
