and listen to the satnav. I was so proud of myself yesterday. I got up, got children moving, had shower, breakfast, made packed lunch and was out of the house so that we would only be a couple of minutes late to music. (Obviously I’d have been prouder if we’d been on time, but hey, there [...]

As mentioned earlier, we got a really good haul of non fiction books from our local Red Cross shop on Sunday. They are forming a large part of our current curriculum so I thought I’d list them out here for the record. What Do You Know About Science and Technology?: Over 101 Questions and [...]

we wouldn’t need workbooks, points rewards systems, timetable charts or anything. It was one of those days that just comes together and everything works, everyone is happy and life generally is good Started well after excellent sleep by getting up when the alarm went off and getting myself organised before the baby stirred. Then [...]

The other day Tim was browsing the shop that used to be the coop department store and discovered a number of Ben 10 toys that were very much reduced.

Children were too tired on Monday for the outing I’d optimistically arranged the evening before, so I had to miss the outing to the hyperbolic crochet workshop Tried very hard not to let my disappointment get to me or adversely affect the day, but it was always going to be a tough one [...]

We left CP mid afternoon Friday, having attempted to wait out the rain shower in Starbucks, but giving up and just getting soggy on the way to the car instead. Then we got lost trying to get out of the carpark and ended up driving round the whole site, which added a ludicrous amount of [...]
