Project Torture


It has been a while since I was last blogging. It got kind of busy there the last few weeks. Tom went away to Northern Quebec for work, so I am a single Parent for a bit. I really admire how single Mum's do it all the time. Lewie had his 2nd report card and various school projects. The School projects have been all consuming the last few weeks. Side note. He did really well in his report card A's in all subjects. Only negative ish comment was that he needs to become more organised in his work and desk. OK back on topic. Lewie has to do a Heritage project about something historical to do with Newfoundland and the theme this year was "Where they Once stood" . He decided to do a Project on Fort Townsend. Fortunately his Uncle Had A LOT of info on it. But....... As you know there is always a BUT. We were not sure how much of the info we were "officially" allowed to use. So we went to the CNS at MUN and got a lot of the same info from there. Lewie decided he wanted to do a model of the fort, a poster, and a topographic map of the area where the fort once was. Sounds good easy really. We started the project early but.... Like I said before there is always a BUT. Tom (the Creative, Handy one) went away and most of the project was left for Lewie to do with some help. An awful lot of work later the project is nearly finished. It is due on Wednesday so a few finishing touches and it should be ready. Thank Goodness, I really don't remember doing anything so elaborate when I was in Grade 5..........
