autumnal
Schools here go back today – can feel that atmosphere in the air. At least it’s not glorious and sunny – that always made it so much harder… It’s incredibly autumnal now – been reminding myself that it’s only August and we should get some more sunshine yet. Love autumn though – there’s a kind [...]

lovely
Up really early this morning and had a little go at the nostalgic puzzle which we set up a couple of days ago: It is a great puzzle – an Egyptian Chronicle, can’t walk by it without doing a bit. Ooh look I’ve found Moses feet/hieroglyphs/top of the pyramid of Cheops etc. Didn’t make me [...]

lion in the grass
Charlotte got an audiobook from the library – Fire, Bed and Bone – which she insisted we all listen to as it was so good. It really was. It’s set during the peasants rebellion of 1381, seen through the eyes of a dog – bit of a tear jerker. Seems like were going both directions in [...]
fairies
Fairy path that I love in the woods: and look did I catch a fairy on film? My friend is now onto her second generation of designs with some lovely fabrics (fairies again!): and a truly Scottish one, see moonrabbits.co.uk: Related posts:Halloweenembalming…spiral in the sand
little catch up

upsetting
All work, no play at Blair flagship school - don’t know what to say :( and Catherine Tate gave us some periodic table fun :) Kids loved this one with David Tennant too… yes okay, so did I Going to school not compulsory – from the beeb. Sounds like England is going to get some guidelines a bit [...]
sunny work
…as opposed to ‘busy work’ for the sake of it which they might have been doing in other circumstances. Started with a cave meditation and some yoga, then we got on with our 6 week French course – all enjoyed it, managed to do most of today’s bit outside in the sun :) Also played Trilemma out there [...]
learning
Read Paula’s thoughts and links post about the Buddhist talk she attended on the conducive conditions for developing concentration, considered crucial to the development of understanding and wisdom. Wonderful how home ed provides these conditions. Then Cherryann sent me a quote from New Horizons for Learning: “The brain is truly a phenomenal structure, and keeping it [...]
you may turn your paper over now…
Printed out some graph paper as weve finished the jotters like that and off we went. Did the equations here and I think everyone understood it quite well. It’s with something like this that the one to one – or one to two in our case – teaching really come into it’s own. Any little mistake [...]
