Winterthrowupdiseasequaranteen and fun with water

Today the kids are not going to kindergarden as we have had some pukeparties this weekend with endless amounts of laundry. They are feeling better today. Winston and Henry are playing with Grainne and Oisin that are staying with us. They are all enjoying the new boat track we found on the kids market this weekend, and Henry is enjoying pouring water on everything, like the tent and table.

Winston reading age

Winston read aloud from start to finish this

the reading level is 2.5.

I looked in to this and this relates to the grade in an american school.

so for this one book he can read at the level of a 7.5year old

Winston reading and maths

Winston read from start to finish out loud "512 Ants from Sullivan Street"  about 3 days ago.

Today at the table he way playing with multiplication blocks going through every one and checking the answer and the sum.

And he learnt to build a tower carefully with wooden blocks - Thanks to Mary.

We have Mary, Gronja and Osheen staying with us through airBnB this month. Couldn't wish for better guests.

Winston learnt to ride his bike today

Caroline bought a stick to attach to Winston's bike  so we could take off the stabilisers,  but it didn't fit so I took him to the play park without stabilisers. For the first two or three times I held him from behind under the arms. After 3 goes,  he went a few meters on his own. Then he went a few more and crashed and hurt his keg a bit, but he was straight back on to have another go. A few more first and he could stop safely. A few more goes and he could start without help if it was slightly downhill .  On the way back, he rode the last 100meters completely on his own, including going over a speed bump and turning in to the gravel drive and stopping safely. Amazing to see learning at high speed like that.
