We started this week back in full swing - as we have had a few disrupted weeks as far as home ed has been concerned.

I found a Little Red Riding Hood Activity Pack at 123 Homeschool 4 me. and we have been concentrating on the letter R this week.

We also made a trip into our local Home Ed Group for the first time in ages, happened to be a nice afternoon weatherwise, and we will try and make a bit more of an effort in the future to make these meetings.
