I think that needs a drumroll perhaps , but he is going to blog the days when I am at work, so will put this in as a holding space!
Monday: home ed things; skating; karaoke; ballet; [DH blog]
When I got home from work, the kids were v excited about ballet, FrB enjoyed it, and felt comfortable there, as it is a very small group of 4, so lots of individual attention. They were pleased to tell me how hard they had worked. FrB felt her english book was a bit difficult for her, so we rooted around and found a selection of different style english books from years 4-6 and she is going to start simply with DH and change book as she gets more confident.
The girls were also keen to do some more of their history journal, so we looked at tool making from flints, found an excellent website – museum of the stone age and cut out some pictures of tools to stick in the journal. We then watched the first half of the first episode of sacred wonders of britain . It was a bit too wordy for FrB, but I talked over the top, and we looked at the places it would be interesting to visit.
FrB was keen to get started on piano lessons, so we played piano together and she got started on the beginning book. Once she has mastered notes, I imagine she will race through the book, as she is already skilled in playing the oboe. SB and I also did a practice together, starting a previously learnt grade 3 piece to get her fingers back, and enjoying playing our jazz duets. I have really missed playing them with her, as they make me smile

Friday: conservation group am – FrB hasn’t quite got enough ‘scruffy’ clothes, so we suggested she use some of SB’s old clothes to do conservation work in – apparently she just couldn’t wear bootcut jeans, they need to be skinny ah, the return of teenagers to this house . she was shattered in the pm and had a snooze whilst SB did second ballet class, she has decided to do monday ballet, but not the friday.
