We got back into the swing of our regular activities this week.
Varsha has been doing some fabulous drawings. This one is inspired by a scene in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader where the knights have been enchanted and fallen into a deep sleep and their hair and their fingernails have grown very long.
Laxmi has been reading and writing Harry Potter fan fiction: stories inspired by the original book but often going in quite different directions. Laxmi has also been using Instagram to get other people’s ideas about what should happen.
We have played the monster game and watched a few episodes of a fabulous documentary called Australia in Colour where Australian history is told through old film that has been coloured.
We went to music at the music house in Mareeba. The same teachers that came to our hall teach there with a couple of others. Varsha and Laxmi are both playing piano and Laxmi is singing.
We went to Atherton and met up with Tekira. Laxmi and I went shopping with her birthday money while the others went op shopping. Laxmi said it was the best day ever. She bought Super Mario Maker and a Pokémon case for her 3DS and a rolling suitcase with the Hogwarts crest on it. We had a picnic on the picnic table in the middle of the main street.
Dakoda came over to play with Laxmi and they painted and cooked and played outside. Laxmi has 11 pages left of the 766 pages in the 5th Harry Potter book.
Varsha went out walking with Luca and Jazz and met up with Thiango and had them all back at our house one evening. Varsha is making an animation using Flipaclips and working on her ideas for a product for Young Creatives. She went swing dancing this week too.
She’s also been embroidering on T-shirts for Luca to give to Finn.
We made a video for Grandma Lois and Grandpa George’s 60th wedding anniversary. Varsha got all the gear set up and did the sound check before we recorded it. It was a pretty crazy video!
