D is continuing studying, and has joined a Home Ed Group for free tutoring once a week for a few hours for Math which is run by our County Council. Unfortunately there were no GCSE English Groups running for him to join that were nearby. The rest of the week he is studying iGCSE English (Spec A) Biology, Physics and Chemistry.
J is now at the age where a little bit more structure is needed in his day to day learning. Which means more planning and organising.
This week we started with English in the morning, using worksheets, workbooks, games, TV and websites.
For History and Geography I tried Picture Book Explorers for the first time, using Cedrics Day at the Castle.
This book is about Polly and her Grandfather who visit a Norman Castle in Suffolk accompanied by Polly's imaginary friend, Cedric the seahorse.
The Picture Book Explorer pack takes you to Suffolk,where you can learn about Orford castle and 12th Century legends. Activities include learning about spits, maritime messaging, learning about seahorses and various other activities.
This week we have looked at the Counties of England and printed a map and located and highlighted Suffolk, and also the County where we live.
We used the Maritime Message Codes to spell out his name.
We visited our local Norman Castle
We also explored our town by following part of the town trail, and while we were out and about, identified the flags in our High Street which are all from Countries who have qualified for the Rugby World Cup.
Yesterday we visited CricklePit Mill who were hosting a Milling Day, so we got to see how the water mill worked and even bought some flour made from the mill. Also lots of wildlife to see there, including footage of otters who visit the centre and climb on the water wheel.
Also J has been sketching, swimming, rugby training and gardening.
So that was our first week back homeschooling.
Tomorrow we are back to Sunday morning rugby - for both boys!
