Week 1 with a smile

This was our first week of term and we have had a good time following on from Mondays fun we attended our local home ed groups not back to school picnic on Tuesday where the kids had a fantastic time, we also went on a tram ride which was a rare treat as we don't use public transport often as there are very poor bus links from our village. 

The on Wednesday we had another great day and attended a course on personal safety, a fantastic experience and some great hands on learning scenarios which really helped deliver the message. 

On Thursday we had a fairly easy morning learning Spanish with muzzy and the in the afternoon we run our local church parent and toddler group. 

Friday we spent all day at home but it was by no means boring. We opted for a crafty session and this is what ensued

We also did a bit of baking and made some yummy bread 

And this week we discovered a great free web game for learning and practising phonics

Www.teachyourmonstertoread.com

Kids design their own monster and then travel around various stages learning phonics sound and practising words. Both my girls have been thoroughly addicted.

Looking forward to see what next week brings. 2 outings next week one to the home educators day at the deep in hull on Monday and an organised home ed trip to twycross zoo on Thursday. Busy times!
