Late start

Our day pretty much didn't start until 10.30, that was when we had breakfast! Ahh the luxury of not having to get up for the school run, Can't say I miss it, although I'm not all that keen on the late starts too often and we seem to have had a few lately. It messes up the meal plans for the day a tad.

Work for the morning consisted of C doing his maths via the computer (RMeasimaths) M joined in a little. Love it when they learn together, C was getting her to count the coloured squares while he was answering questions on area.

In between 'helping' C, M spent lots of time back and fore between her maths and reading apps, she plays them for fun without me even prompting so suits me just fine.
She also spent a few minutes writing letters in her Letterland book but didn't seem that fussed today.

H is making his way through the last few pages of a CGP maths book which is actually KS1 but want him to make sure he knows everything in that one before carrying on with his KS2 one. I found it out when having a clear out and thought I had better check he knows it all. He's been flying though it though so don't think it was necessary.

A few pages in their human body sticker books and then onto minecraft homeschool which even I enjoyed. They had to watch a video on Talhoffers Medieval Combat Manual which was fascinating http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAAFczOyLVo They then did a quiz on it which will be marked and determine if they get to go to the server party as it's the last week of the course.

The rest of the afternoon was spent at the woods where we met up with home ed friends for some den building, badger tracking, football and getting very muddy. The wind was very cold but we still managed a couple of hours out of the house.

Home for a quick lunch/dinner at 4pm, see what I mean about getting up so late! We left the house not long after to see Nanny and Grandad as it was my mother in laws birthday. Back home to watch Cars 2 and then they are going to bed on time so we can have a better timed day tomorrow.
