This week Barnaby Bear came home from Sebastian’s class for an overnight visit. Barnaby visited each member of Sebastian’s class for the past six weeks – even before the extra long holiday thanks to the bad flu circulating Hong Kong just before Easter. Each host then writes about Barnaby’s visit to their home that are placed into a binder that captures Barnaby’s travels. Wednesday when Barnaby came home to our place, Tess broke out the camera. Afterwards Tess and I downloaded the photos that I arranged into a collage. The next morning I took one last photo when Sebastian returned to school with Barnaby.
Thursday night Seb’s homework involved writing descriptions for the collage and the story of Barnaby’s visit. I had a business dinner that night followed by a conference call lasting until 1:30 AM. When I returned home about 2 AM I quickly pulled out Sebastian’s completed homework. I was so impressed that I scanned the written portion. Sebastian also wrote next to the pictures but to maintain picture quality I used text here instead of re-scanning the pictures. Below is the description of the afternoon and evening. (Click to enlarge images.) What do you think?

How wonderful! I bet Seb had great fun learning how to journal a special occasion and he has an adorable keepsake as a momento. I must add that I am impressed you maintained daddy duties in the wee hours of the morning. I love the hadnwritten portion the best. I can just sense the struggle to pick and print the words to tell his story. He is such a tidy printer! Well done!!!
GREAT work, Seb and Tess and Charles! The Barnaby Bear Story is such fun and Seb’s printing is the best 🙂 Way to go, Sebastian!
Thanks so much for sharing this fab piece of literature with us all.
Love, Mo xox
