So in July I was going to make a start on Home Ed planning for J. Actually looking forward to this as my role as a Home Educating Mum has declined a bit over the last couple of years due to fact that the older two are studying towards their iGCSE's/GCSE's and therefore have their own timetable and study pattern. Help is needed occasionally and usually M has more knowledge in these areas, but all in all it feels that I have become some what redundant.
My time is taken up of course with my little whirlwind of a son, and also all my energy I have to say. Following the same child led approach of my other two, hardly any formal learning has taken place for J in the early years, now, however as he is 7 years old I intend to start introducing just a little bit of structure to his learning routine.
So I will be gathering all sorts of info/plans/projects etc over the summer months, ready to start with J in September.
In the meantime, learning is still taking place of course and we are spending quite a bit of time at the allotment
Harvesting Potatoes
Nature Walk (which involved a lot of tree climbing)
Making Peanut Butter Cookies
Swimming
Next week - hoping to go somewhere nice by train and make the most of our free family railcard!
