Chalky the Guinea Pig

Just use your imagination, okay?

Our son is very talented and we want to keep our illusions about that intact.

Plus, my mother always told me that if you can’t say something nice, then don’t say anything.

So it’s a guinea pig, because Mr Bump said so.

And if you can find something nice to say, we’d really really appreciate it.
Seriously.

Book Cover Craft

Wren’s class made these great artworks with watercolours and crayons to cover their school books.

First they painted a yellow wash with watercolours and left it to dry.

The next day, they drew a design in pencil and went over it with red and orange crayons.

Then the artwork and the school books came home to me and I covered them and wrote each child’s name onto the cover with a black permanent marker.

The children were very proud of their creative work, and being able to use the results in a tangible way has been great for their self esteem.
