Lets round up the week!

Not such a brilliant week home ed bookwise, have to be honest! but the kids were historying on weds, and out most of friday and a whack of tues with hospital visits. SB finally got to some maths she is having a struggle with – word problems that rely on a bit of subsitutions of equations [not quadratic as yet ] so we did a longggg bit of that and she started to get the hang of looking for the bits of puzzle to fit in. BB is finding her maths easier, she has got a handle on her hundreds, tens and units with a bit of help. Anyway, we are hoping for a better week this week tho loads of appointments this week too, so lets see.

ANyway, have blogged weds historyetc, and it was sandwiched either side by visitors, before by jax and co – v lovely, fair bit of chatting and cuddling soa who is quite gorgeous, and also talking about making secondary HE work and friendship groups [and there is now an online space for them to meet v safely] . Fterwards nana stayed whilst grandad had his gallbladder out [not without complication but not too drastic] and the puddle girls stayed. so a v jolly sociable week, and lots of late nights!! I think that makes up for lack of HE sometimes

Friday also a jolly day as after dropping nana at the hospital to pick up grandad, the beans all went to the deependers and had a fabulous time. I believe the adults were making electronic kits the kids seem to have had fun designing , building, sculpting, whatever with boxes. BB brought hers home with her. She has continued to add to it and has had great fun and excellent planning and making from it – including the rocket launchers she built must make sure i take a photo.

At the weekend we went to kentwell – which i hope to blog separately – to visit the house but also to see a smaller tudor re-enactment. And sunday DH put the first of the white paint on our arched window – woohoo Me and the girls did home ed and i also did sewing. I am trying to play at least one board game with each girl each week, and also a wii session, so mission accomplished the rabbits had a good tidy too.

Have i said bb wanted a tropical fish tank for her brithday [and lego etc etc] and so we got one from ebay, and are currently testing every other day the ammonia and nitrite levels as we need apparently a number of bacteria before introdicing the fish
