As per usual, a patchy record of learning as I write so far in arrears. And the children don’t always record when they do their assigned work.
Ignatius and Sebastian finished AAS7 this Term! This is the last book in the AAS program!
A huge focus of Term 3 was the weekly practice for our homeschool play, Oliver. In the last month we were practising 3 times a week for long, full days!
Ignatius had a lead role as Fagin and Siena had several roles.
Sebastian and Saxon chose to not be in the play.
It was an incredible play and the children stretched and grew!
Oliver was held at the Criterion Theatre and was a resounding success!!!
