The start of the New Term, with the constant rain some days it feels like a snuggle up and read day. So not as strong a start as I was hoping for.
Endeavouring to find a balance with our homeschool activities. With so many activities happening; Monday at the hall, Fridays at the park, hosting Writing Club here we’ve had to make some decisions.
Game plan is home 4 days a week, alternating fortnightly hall and park mornings. Writing Club is after lunch so that’s not an issue.
Once again leaving so long between recording learning means much learning hasn’t been recorded. Be assured more has happened than the following.
Group Work:
Faith History – 2 chapters
History – SOTW 4. Chernobyl 4 chapters
Story of the Church – 2 chapters
Logic – 2 chapters
Read Aloud Younger Children – The Magic Faraway Tree 4 chapters.
Science & Technology Challenge – Testing dropping eggs off the shipping container. Each child designed impressive and unique ‘planes’. Some were balloon baskets for the eggs, some taped their egg with that much padding and gave their design wings. Lots of fun, learning and designing.
