An Unexpected Story

We got a great surprise when we got up today - Emily had a very creative morning!  She was up much earlier than us as usual - particularly because today's Saturday, and who likes to get up early on Saturdays?

Here's a Tarzan story Emily wrote.  The transcription is underneath.

Monkey is meeting Tarzan (picture caption)
A Tarzan Story
by Emily
The monkey swinged for himself
up in the air
and landed in Tarzan's arms (that line had to go at the top because Emily ran out of space at the bottom)

Monkey said to Tarzan, "Thank you".
He loves the way Tarzan rescued him.
Monkey looked at Tarzan and they be
friends.  The End.

As you can see, the school's 'sound it out for yourself' approach to spelling only yields results slowly, but I'm happy that Emily is writing confidently and I don't want to spoil it by being strict on spellings.

Emily also did a beautiful picture of the Solar System, following on from yesterday's homeschooling session (featuring in a blog post soon!):

From top to bottom, the captions read:
Shooting Star
Mars
Sun
Mercury
Earth
Saturn
Moon
Jupiter

I especially love the Sun and Jupiter's faces!
