The mermaid paper dolls were getting dressed before breakfast was even eaten. We moved on to mermaid colouring in. Varsha and Laxmi collaborated on the first one. Varsha added a dolphin with a cake balanced on its nose. The next colouring had a beach scene on the top margin including a girl playing with a frisbee. We read the biology chapter of a science book from the library. We did some of the experiments like watching our pupils get smaller in bright light. Even though it was cold and windy outside we needed to run around the house and play with balls and the frisbee for a while. Afterwards we had an icecream shop and Varsha made a menu. After dinner we watched a documentary about the history of China. It was good but a bit gory.
