Hmm, we had a lovely morning of latin and science with local home ed friends. it is certainly popular! the children do prob about 1/2 of latin and roman related talking, and about the same of science or craft. The group does aim to do both! then loads of rampaging. we were late [as usual] so it had [as usual] a late start. perhaps one of my new years resolutions should be to not be late!! The science was water based – thinking about liquids, how they seemed to work, and then what might sink or float, how we could change the shape and perhaps it would float, and then we added salt to see if it would then float. A very untechnical description of why this happened! [by me, so i can be rude] we also looked at surface tension and made a mess! This was all greatly enjoyed, prob due to mess, and pics on flickr! lots of playing children after whilst parents got to chat.
SB had rainbows, and BB has been asleep. I’ve been texting family, scrabulous, and our mondeo is now fixed – woohoo.
SB has done a fair bit of ‘home ed’ with chris these last 2 days, with maths, handwriting and piano practice. Since back from rainbows we have read stories from the usborn stories of dragons, some SOTW2 [Christianity comes to Britain], thought about doing some calligraphy and found stuff for tomorrow for that, and read Lucie Chat en ville. such a good series from the book people that I have accidentally bought it twice!
Latin and science sounds like fun. If we lived nearer you’d be in danger of gatecrashers. I think I’ve forgotten all my Latin, even though I can still chant endings a bit
eram
eras
erat…
yeah. we’re still smarting that we weren’t invited ;-0
ah, well its not organised by me michelle, but a well known local home-educator who remembers far more latin than me! we are using the minimus books, bt Sb has lost hers – typical
You’re all welcome – especially if your Latin is better than mine and you fancy taking over the teaching! I can remember amo amas amat… (and appropinquo, appropinquas…) but otherwise I’m just a page or two ahead of the children!
