I’m reasonably clever – and i went to a good school. The school professed to select girls from the top 5% of the pool of intelligence that sat the exam and turned out exam results that placed it within sight of the top of the league tables of the time. I got 4 good A […]

Fran with a newish local friend, Skye (photos shamelessly stolen from her mum!) Can’t say i notice my children struggling to have friends, they seem to have lots of very dear ones both locally and up and down the country. We’ll put this in the evidence folder for when the Government come round to inspect […]

Actually not at all; more thread-filled. But a slightly different day. The big girls mostly worked on Art History, Maddy continuing to read and write about Vincent Van Gogh and Fran making a start on Claude Monet. Both enjoying researching on their own and sharing what they found out and structuring a project. Spent more […]

Hmmmm…. Fran has done music, finished Chapter 3 in her history book and mastered (probably temporarily!) how to structure a sentence to include and use information from a quote. She has done some work in her science chapter but we need Max to help us with graphs in Word 🙄 at self. She’s just finishing […]

The title being a tongue twister the girls and i invented the other week, to try and help the younger ones sort out their F and Th sounds. Maddy is trying so hard she calls Fran “Thran” half the time!! Trying to blog every day in whistle stop fashion. So today started with Fran and […]

Got up insanely early and blogged while sort of helping Max get ready for a day that was going to involve packing 400+ orders. Christmas is coming!!! Kids all drifted in slowly and watched a bit of Harry Potter but got motivated fairly quickly and did some music practise; all are in need of new […]

But only if i am quick!!!! I’ll have to add photos in later as it is far too early to mess around with things like that!!!! Tuesday was another working day mainly as we had a busy week and i’ve told the girls if they work well through November then we’ll theme all of December […]

From the end of October in fact… spent the evening of Halloween with Kate, Summer and Madison doing trick or treating. We always love going out with them because Summer is so very loved around her area and escorting her is a pleasure. Madison was a lot of fun this year too 😀 Although i […]

Happy Birthday Josie, my darling littlest girl – 5 today 🙂 She’s had a lovely day with presents first thing (PlayMobil, Baby Stella cot, DS games and Puzzibits) and then all day playing with very attentive sisters, followed by bowling with as many sisters who weren’t at gym and then home for fireworks and birthday […]
