SB is getting near to the end of lots of hospital visits. One problem, for which she has had 2 diff specialists and 2 MRI scans has been investigated and no clear answer demonstrated so presumed migraine. Migraine is not something i had wished to pass on, but could just be due to changing eye prescriptions. Her tooth saga is still ongoing. the tooth broken before christmas has finally had the nerve root dying, and so she had an abscess, and has now had a root canal drainage and a root canal filling!! She has 1 more appointment to have the tooth rebuilt again. these appointments have been fairly disruptive to the home ed during the week!
So it has been a ‘low’ home ed week for normals. Hopefully will do a bit better next week! However, we did have historyetc on weds, which was fabulous, and the girls also went to ‘the wild place’ for woodcraft on friday. They had a great time, making a veg soup, getting fires going and also coppicing. Lots of discussion and lots of things learnt. Think both girls fancy a firesteel now. Lots of the normal after school activities went on, and BB still enjoying judo. SB’s friend has left guides for a drama group, and SB really didn’t enjoy guides this week at all. She was predominantly the tidy upperer and assistant as it was a pairs activity… we may rethink guides. My SB is a lovely heart-on-sleeve girl, but she is a bit too shy to ‘break in’ to the pair groups at guides and the leader doesn’t really seem to see it as part of her role to help.
It being a history week we have had guests. We had Jax and family staying on the tuesday night which was great. SB and Big got straight down to playing their clarinet and bassoon respectively. They had a great eve together had lots of fun, but did then settle too late and we had some unfortunate moments before they finally went to sleep 
In the future Jax and i think we might see if SB and Big can do one of the extension bits of geog or history together in the eve, as these often say to do with class/partner etc. might then see if some ff distance learning interaction makes it work?? SB really does wish we lived in an HE village, tho is clear she doesn’t currently want to go to school. Hoping to make the most of the peer group that she loves that lives relatively locally. Jax and I got lots of time to chat over herbal teas, nice for us to meet IRL too.
Weds night we had 2 of the puddle chicks staying, and that was great too. They are much loved by my girls, and happy that history group is also giving them the sleepover and friend thing too. Lots of playing and finished with film night of ratatouille, and the all settled asleep v v quickly!
