Living in the North of Scotland, vegan, home educating, dancing, cake eating, writing, woodland walking... no set subject matter here really though :)
The more ancient archives are the old home ed diary starting in June 2005 and evolving on from there.

This is a site we used quite a bit back at the more curriculified beginning of home education – a quick blog search reveals the first mention of it almost exactly 5 years ago! From the Guardian, it covers the whole national curriculum, primary and secondary and does have some really interesting bits and ways [...]

bits and bobs of education
weve been up to. Measured the sunflower this morning – it’s 8’11″ – so lovely and strong these flowers. Weve been playing Trilemma as a good re-stretch of maths abilities, all seems to have been well retained over summer. Had a go on the Skoool site for Pythagoras again, quite fun, like how they have [...]
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 [...]
sunny pi
Had a different school experience this morning. A whole load of people walked up the track, adults and teens – a school trip here? We see about one person in three weeks on the track and it’s private land so it seemed a bit unlikely, however it was. Must have been from a local special [...]
potter and pi
Davie’s back to work today after his four days off, Charlotte’s writing and illustrating a book about fictional Royal families and Daniel is youtubing in various languages. Weve just been for a very wet walk in the woods. Our new words in French are quite easy this week (week 5!) as we know most of them from [...]
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 [...]
triangles
We read up a bit more on Pythagoras theorem in this book and then moved onto triangles in general and played around with both pythagorus and triangles in this online maths dictionary for kids. Daniel went off on his own Pythagorean tangent investigating the habits of the Pythagoreans. He has also been fascinated to learn [...]
the waldorf maths post
The children attended a Waldorf school for three terms and I worked there too. I had read lots of Steiner over the years and always liked the whole ethos of it but I was unprepared for how it would look in real life as it were. Before I wax lyrical about the maths I do [...]
maths trek
Got the book ‘Math Trek – adventures in the MathZone’ today. Had fun with the map section – love all the extra facts and history the book gives you. I never knew that Lewis Carroll was a mathematician called Charles Lutwidge Dodgson – maybe that’s just me being ignorant there. All very interesting. Pouring with [...]
