Today…. did reading with Josie; she remembered the words 9and could read some of it back to Daddy later) to quite a lot of Peter and Jane 1a. We also read a Penguins book, picked out words like penguin, eggs, ice and waddle to find on different pages, did some counting of various things and […]
Fresh starts and old clobber.
I’ve managed to be ill for most of the time since Xmas day, first with a cold and then with some lingering cough virus which will neither bugger off, nor be quite bad enough to make me properly ill. So i’ve been asleep a good bit, coughing when awake and feeling slightly out of sorts. […]
2009 – The Good, the Bad & the Ugly.
It’s been an eventful year, both for our family and for our community. Much of what has happened to Home Educators politically has overshadowed the lives of too many of my friends, taken our time away from each other, caused rifts and sadness and frightened people into feeling they will have to move away from […]
Christmas 2009
We’ve had a lovely and very relaxing few Christmas days; it feels slightly odd this year as the business was so much more organised that there wasn’t quite the “phew, it’s over!!!” feeling of past years, but it was much nicer for it. Max finished on 23rd and came home to a tidy and festive […]
Xmas Pomander Display – and Merry Christmas.
Craft #20 was the most beautiful of the season. Much easier than I imagined and smell and look really lovely. The key to this is definitely to cut out simple designs in the peel with a fruit knife yourself and then let the kids push cloves through the pith. We’ve finished Christmassing the house – […]
Quick Xmas Sweets & Wrapping Paper
Oooh, nearly there now!!!! Loads we didn’t do but never mind, we can either finish them over the holiday or do them next Christmas i guess! #14 was the handy John Lewis Cracker Kit we got cheap while buying presents. A certain amount of frustration initially until they got the hang of minimal glue being […]
Candle, Foam & Felt Xmas Crafts
Made easier by being fairly snow bound still, although i think that will change tomorrow. Our street is an ice-rink – i went out last night and kind of wished i hadn’t as the roads were VERY slippy. These little chaps were mostly made while Uncle Rich was still here. And this charming little foamy […]
Felted Santa & Window Art
Although before starting i feel compelled to add a picture of my John Lennon style Santa 😆 I will have to change his eyes 😆 Do feel i should add extra pictures of the stained glass windows (with guest appearance of one done by visiting Uncle Rich, who insisted on Aussies style red soil instead […]
Felted Christingle Orange & More
Lots of easy crafts this week. #5We’ve done Shrinkies already but here are pictures of the finished articles. #6Then we moved on to colouring in Stained Glass windows, with some debate about where to hang them for best effect and what pens were going to work best and why. Some discussion on colour densities, light, […]
Christmas Wednesday Group.
Today, this poor deprived group of hidden and potentially uneducated children did the following:- Sang Christmas carols in Latin, making educated logical guesses on what different words were before each one. Who knew the Romans sang Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, eh?! Did group music theory while eating carrot sticks, shouting out the note values […]
