Day 92.

We went for a walk around Little Rush Lake and saw a few interesting things. Looks like a great place to get tadpoles, so we'll need to obtain a fish tank and begin setting it up. Unfortunately, my camera was flat so I couldn't get any pictures, sadly.

The kids did quite well at getting their maths books done, but when it came to writing a short story about our walk, Colt had a hard time getting any words down on paper. He had a great idea, but couldn't find the words to begin. Will have to work out how to stop this becoming a bigger problem down the track.

They helped with making afternoon tea, little Dutch pancakes, but mostly the helping was confined to sprinkling the icing sugar and eating them! Great cooking lesson, not!

Guess I better start thinking of something special to do to mark 100 days of home schooling, it's coming up quick now.

Day 91.

After a 4 week break from school as I worked through all our business stuff, we are back into it. I made an awesome new term plan and I'm now working on Plan B already as one child is still asleep, sigh!

Instead of going for our walk first, they are doing a 10 min you-tube exercise video.

After doing our maths workbooks, we finally got out for a walk. Lucky we went when we did, as the weather turned nasty and we headed home. We did pick up an elderly couple caught in the rain, and delivered them safely to their front door. Great lesson for the kids! :)

Always nice, being on the edge of the rain clouds!

The kids had a nice play before we had to leave.

Back home again, we began spelling after a quick hot lunch. Taffy hates learning to read, but this idea has grabbed her attention! We will see if it works with other mediums too.

We didn't quite get through everything on the list, but we did loads more than when we didn't have the list! :)

Day 90.

Today we had an excursion to the Wilkinson Homestead in Armadale. The curator and her helpers were wonderful at engaging the children and giving them an experience of school and life in the early 1900's.Despite the horrendous weather, it was a good turn out of home schooled kids and their mums, and the weather held off during the morning so the kids could run and stretch their legs in the big backyard.

I had a whole bunch of photos but my sd card has grown legs and walked away .......
