Mystery Maze - Summer reading challenge

So, after the dinosaurs at Eden we had to go to the Library to get some books about this subject "I have to learn more about flying dinosaurs" Luca said. The library in Plymouth is amazing for children and they are having a summer reading challenge, which is reading 2 books every 3 weeks to get some prizes. Luca picked 5 books and learned a lot from them. specially about animals with the animals encyclopaedia he picked. Because of this encyclopaedia he decided to make his own book of animals. His drawing is absolutely amazing.

Today he returned the books and talked to the librarian about what he learned and showed her his pictures on his very own book. She was quite impressed and he was so glad. he couldn't care less about the prizes, all he wanted was to share his learning. I believe he got that from the school he is at the moment - Plymouth School of Creative Arts - they don't reward, but teach children how to value their work and the children pride is the best prize really. It is so powerful!

Mas temos que ter paciência e compreensão, pois ele está com medo de ser deixado. Nessa hora temos que dar muito amor, colo e mostrar que estaremos sempre pertinho deles... Luca passou por isso, mas eu passei muita segurança para ele e agora ele está bem tranquilo e curtindo (até demais) o desprendimento dele. O que é? É normal que crianças em idade pré-escolar ou que ainda estão aprendendo a andar ...

My treasure...

“Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return.” ― poem by Mary Jean Irion
