we aren’t particularly giddy going about home educators, so these last 3 days have been particularly stay-at-home! the girls have done a reasonable amount of home ed [tho less music prac] and a lot of trampolining and being out in the garden in this great weather. having picked up the kind of bug that gets me excluded from work i was off unexpectedly yesterday, as well as normally today. not that i could take advantage of this really, as feeling decidedly off colour [obviously!] DH has done a bit more veg bed prep, and today we finished sowing all the march things, so that is good.
SB made a brill solar power kit, except that the motor doesn’t appear to work – grrr grr. i did love her history tho, letters between xerxes and themistocles – made me giggle 
.. she finished book 1 skoldo and listened to the entire cd. we will need to do some consolidation of some of the vocab, but she is generally pretty confident. as well as history this week, a fair bit of maths [she is keen to finish decimals] , galore park english and galore park science [keen to get to the level 3's] some nice piano prax [starting on the grade 2 scales and one of the pieces, but continuing to enjoy the easy jazz duets as our prime thing] , and started the grade 2 music theory book .
BB did some baking – chocolate cake as usual. meant to do crafting, but somehow the lovely sunny weather has captured us she started minimus. she has been desperate to, so have done some baby steps there. BB is getting confident also, in reading [as long as not pushed ] and is now on her level 2 books. ‘the’ is still a bit of a challenge… we did some recorder and piano prac today. i did have to persuade her that it is alright to learn a ‘new tune’ with me though, can’t listen to hot cross buns forever! she has got a bit ds fixated tho 
so that can be a challenge.
we are currently watching lotr 3 between sb’s brownies and judo. she will be moving up to guides shortly.
