Will be looking at a Workbox themed learning style for J, which will including reading, writing, science, etc and lots of different activities to choose from. The Workbox theme takes a lot of organising and planning, but I think once I get into a routine, it should be pretty straight forward.
I haven't got all the equipment, but that isn't necessarily a requirement for work boxing, so I am just going to use different folders for each subject, and I will use jars for each day of the week.
Each jar will contain a picture card printed from Homeschool Creations
Subjects will include, Science, Nature, PE, Literacy, Numeracy, Geography, History, Computer time, Bible Story and Art and Craft. Also will include library visit, museum, field trip, church, playdough, tv, puzzles, board game, game console, bike ride, park, walk, excercise, swimming, cooking, chores and clean up to also be included.
Science Resources
Science Workbooks - covering living things and non living things, different animals, parts of animals, animals on land and animal in the water, food of animals, parts of a plants, fruits and seeds, long or short, tall or short, big or small, heavy or light, hot or cold, hard or soft, smells, shapes and colours, body parts, senses, habits, food, solid and liquid,water. float and sinking, sound and light and shadow.Also one weekly science experiment

English and Maths will be using worksheets and workbooks, and also websites during computer time. Also will add read aloud time. M is reading The Faraway series by Enid Blyton at bedtime, so will find another book to read aloud during the day, maybe Harry Potter.
The eldest two are carrying on with their studying, B will sit 4 exams this summer, English Lit and Biology iGCSE, Religious Studies (Roman Catholic and The Gospel of Mark Units) and Maths GCSE. D will be taking his next year, and for the moment is studying for Maths, English, Chemistry, Biology and Physics.
D is obviously still playing rugby, will his final Devon trials for under 15 taking place next month, and also continuing with his training with the Devon School of Rugby Academy
Just have a few more things to organise, then I am all ready for Monday..... I think!
