Another busy Learn Share

Been another busy learn share week with not only activities from me but from the docent teacher in Oostende and a municipal pack too. Oostende well organised getting resources out to the children to ensure education input maintained during the lockdown.  Love the resources too as you much learning can be generated from the fun activities.   Sure has kept Leen & Celine engrossed and full of excitement to show me.   Look below love the finger pictures for painting nails as again reinforces my trick to open up Leens mind to 5 fingers each hand and 5x tables.  

Leen has been learning to write her meemie jeemies... Arabic letters so proud of her with all her language acquirement and foundation building to learn more.  She has the Dutch and English writing to develop too so you will see how when you scroll down how I have got a wipe clean workbook to practice alphabet and some words in English.  Not confusing but with fun can be learnt simultaneously...... making it fun is key to the success and so her logic mind can pick up on patterns and form.  I have been sharing maths activity book pages but with a plan to post them on over the next week for Boshra to work with the girls on maths fun... I can do quite a bit over skype but I so miss being with the girls to have fun time learning and sharing.  It is good when Boshra teams up with me and we can share in Arabic Dutch and English. 

 Another parcel arrived yesterday so there will me more on this in my next post, there is another jigsaw puzzle for them to do and I have shown my attempt as a reference point. 

Amy one of the neighbours from the next street that checks on me that I am OK in the lockdown has crochet rainbows and these are now with Leen and Celine in the parcel received yesterday. 

I have been linking up with the families in Turkey and Germany.  Below is a fast growing Mohammed on the roof top where the family were having a barbecue in readiness for breaking the days fast.  Adam in Germany had his 1st birthday party.  If you remember he was born just a few days before Archie, Prince Harry & Meghan's baby. 

I have been sorting out my garden and sharing photos with the family to help us feel connected and sharing one anothers lives. 

Below is a fun idea of creating a picture out of hand prints. It was in my facebook newsfeed so shown Boshra as the girls could have a go at this.... 

Below the wipe clean keep practising books for hand writing and maths these will be for the next parcel I compile. 

So pleased my Jasmine plant is bursting in flower.  Jasmine is the national flower of Syria and well loved by Syrians for the wonderful aroma.  There are several species but this is from last years Mother Day present my daughters bought me and it has flourished and adorns my front doorway.

We have been following a brief from the teachers activity pack to draw a butterfly.. So been interactive on skype & messenger together. Leen and Celine been making butterflies.

Connecting Fun Sharing

Another busy lockdown sharing over the internet. Well impressed with the speed my parcels get to both Belgium and to Asma in Germany.  All have been received. So the knitted jumper for Adam, Asma boy - the cousin of Leen and Celine. Plus, the girls got their books toys and some Thorntons Unicorn Easter Eggs my daughter, Nicola had got for them.  They love chocolate - yes I know Belgium full of chocolate but it is nice to send some  treats from here.  Boshra has made a pact with them to have pieces daily as treats.  lool  But also good for them to to realise this need to ration out treats.  We have entered Ramadan and Dante and the menfolk in Turkey have been busy making up food parcels for the local families to be sure that they have food for Itfar as Turkey is in lockdown too.

This week had contact with the teachers of Leen & Celine, as Boshra had had a  phone call but though her Dutch is expanding she could not understand all. So I was able with English to find out what it was all about. The school had some activity packs and educational materials to drop off and wanted to explain. Was lovely to have email contact with the teachers as I am so impressed with the schools in Oostende. 

The girls got their princess jigsaw which we had done together over skype last week before posting.. lol I am smiling at Leen face in the "I have competed it" photo..  I think I need to get her next challenge level pieces..... But it is good that they are in the idea of jigsaw puzzles. There are some that are good for educational purposes for example to learn the countries of Europe and where they are.  I have seen one that is for pre order on JoJoMamanBebe website that I will get for the girls to help them learn.

I have been translating with google the "Thats not my Unicorn" book into Dutch for us all to learn. I have some flash cards now to use over skype for us to learn together. They have a lot interesting things to do learning to read and write in all their languages.

Another blanket finished in unicorn colours, I showed Leen this in the making over skype and in English she said "Oh I like this Celine can have the other!" lol and she asked, "How you do this?" So was showing the knitting.

I have crocheted a border and finished off with some sparkle wool to add to the magic of the colours and them seeing them as unicorn colours.. It has been good to sit quiet and make this. Lulu helping as usual. 

One of our local hardware stores as craft things so spotted this mirror shiny card. This morning I have been making a sea scene to show the girls. I have made little videos too... But they have not skyped yet for me to see and get to know their reaction to this as yet. I will update you on this later. 

I have shown then stencils too and we have the words now in English, Dutch and my writing of Arabic.  We will share the pictures view of the sea, the sea bed rocks and pebbles with my buttons as artistic representation hhh and the shell and fishes and seaweed.  Blue Peter would be proud of me surely?!!

Remember we have Boshra to help with her art work too 

This is a latest piece
