This one proved a little frustrating for D – particularly the toes and the collar, which then led on to a rotated head. I didn’t like my own toes all that much either. Nevertheless, we explored tone, shadow and scaly, wrinkly skin quite well together.

Day 30: Creating as well as consuming
January 30, 2014
30th Jan 2014: Dylan’s first (illustrated) book – Vernie the Penguin
Dylan was asked by his school teacher to improve on his two sentences about a polar bear who couldn’t find anything to eat and then saw some food (which apparently didn’t make sense), so he wrote his own book… Which was handy, as he then got to read it for this week’s Sponsored Read – he even got to write a (totally unbiased) review of it on his reading log!

Day 29: A sting in the tail
January 29, 2014
29th Jan 2014: Steve the Scorpion
29th Jan 2014: Sam the Scorpion
In today’s Art + Board Games + Sharing Club we drew Sam and Steve the scorpions and their pedipalps (pincers) – thanks to our new ‘Draw Really Cool Stuff’ book by Doug DuBosque. Dylan then excavated the final 2 dinosaurs from a block of plaster so that we could progress to the accompanying ‘Dinosaur World’ board game.

Day 27: Brilliant books

27th Jan 2014: Brilliant books
In preparation for this week’s Sponsored Read in aid of the school library, we’ve stocked up on a few books from the local Willen Hospice second-hand book shop. Between school, childminder’s and home, the goal is at least 20 books between today and the end of Sunday – a doddle! 
I wonder what we can do with the books once they’ve been read? Hmmmm…

Day 25: Something to swap?
January 25, 2014
25th Jan 2014: Something to swap?
We managed to get out on our bikes again today, before the storm came. I didn’t think to bring any treasure to exchange in any geocaches – we were going to have to leave a plaster (unused!), until we bumped into Brian who gave us a slightly more useful bunch of natural twine! Dylan gained a mini photo frame (we were trying to work out if the picture was of a ‘real person’ or just a placeholder). Must keep some small swapsies by the bikes…

24th Jan 2014: He’s got the whole world in his hands
One of the outcomes of today’s exclusive Music + Football Club.
I know – it’s worth a recording deal, right?!!!!
Next week we’re moving on to Kumbaya! Any requests?!

Day 23: Producing 3d food
January 23, 2014
23rd Jan 2014: A 3d pepper
I could have put a couple more contours around the front and the contours at the bottom should be inverted..
23rd Jan 2014: A 3d apple
In our Art + Board Games + Sharing Club this evening, we decided to continue with our 3d technique and look at some healthy foods. ‘Board’ got removed from the club’s title and club members disbanded as Dylan then decided he’d prefer to play on the Spanish MindSnacks app this week – as he “really needed to get to Level 7”.
