i have nearly caught up! you may have noticed no ticksheet. this is because i didn’t take a pic quickly enough before they were wiped clear for this week! 
. SB was somewhere in the early 20′s and bb didn’t make her 20, but actually has done a huge amount of reading and also a fair number of fact book stuff, so might have been nearly there.
this last week SB went to a museum with the local home educators older group to do an english group writing stories and poems around art. She really enjoyed this 3 hour workshop and did more on it when she returned. i was impressed by improved spelling and handwriting 
. it has also been a week with all the clubs back, she thinks this will be the last term of gym, but she now has double ballet as has been entered for grade 5 ballet and grade 5 music theory this term, so needs to do a bit of work there! there was also multisports with the local home ed group for both girls and the conservation group for both girls. so with historyetc quite an out and abouty type week.
so historyetc this week was broadly 1750-1800 with the subjects of the american independance, the french revolution and cook’s voyages of discovery. since just crafts with the book were stifling our imaginations a bit, we are adding in painters and musicians of the time [tho i forgot to put on the cd] . so kfish started with brioche as baking the let them eat cake of marie antoinette and later led them in an outdoor reenactment of some vive la revolution! i had them drawing boston tea party or riting a pro pamphlet having discussed some of the factors leading up to it. zoe chose stubbs as her painter and we had some technical horse drawing and jax did mapwork around cook. lots of playing and chatting also.
