My brain
Today I painted a brain! I labelled it to say what bits are in charge of different things, we made the brain out of plaster of paris.
We were going to get my new glasses but we didn’t have enough time so we will go tomorrow. Mummy made pancakes for breakfast with chocolate spread & they were the best!
Other things I’ve done today - I played in the garden, I was trying to cook chives in the watering can with hot water*. My city burnt down in Pharoah because I didn’t have enough fire stations - I was obsessed with making more food & I forgot fire stations, oops! We read the whole of Fantastic Mr Fox, it was very funny, except for the pot-bellied dwarf farmer who put goose liver spread in doughnuts, that made me feel sick - yuck!
Maths was easy & boring, Latin was fun but Mummy kept reading the same thing over and over again - I wrote sentences describing my friends in latin - Violetia callida est! I finished the Ballet Magic on the Stage book it was a little bit good but a little bit boring.
Later I’m going swimming with Daddy & Jasper, I’ll have a play swim & I might go in the diving pool and I’m going to jump off the middle board in a tuck jump. My swimming teacher is very nice, some of the children think I’m lying about not going to school & tease me, I’m going to tell those children that I’ll tell the teacher to tell them I’m not lying. Most of the children are quite nice though. My friend in the class has long black hair and has a pink flowery swimsuit. Sometimes I’m jealous of her because she has such long hair, Mummy cut my hair (angry face).
Layla - *first heard of that 
We also read about Martin Luther King Jr & Claudia added him to her biography book (she wants to fine out more about the underground railroad so I must look next time we’re at the library), did some English (verbs), some stuff with magnets (she’s planning to make a solenoid) & done some piano. I’m trying to teach her to tie shoe laces (she did pretty well) and they watched Totoro which IMO is the best children film ever, I love it 
Beautiful work claudia!

You scored as CPO Galen TyrolYou never wanted to be a glamorous Viper pilot. You are happy knowing that without you to fix their birds, they cannot fly. You fell in love with the wrong girl, but is that so wrong? Maybe, but you don’t really care.
