We are half way through our second Art Lab, which is about giant ink drawings. As part of this lesson, the girls have been doing a Susan Schwake Artist Study.

Beginning with the first decade, I planned many activities around the literature written during that time period, key events/people such as the suffragettes, key inventions such as the Brownie camera and the Wright brothers’ flying machine, and the artists around at the time. The following… Continue reading Edwardian Unit Study: Resources {1900-1910}
Precious Moments
This week has been super busy, with appointments with neurologist (which I will be writing about tomorrow) and lunches out each day with a different child/adult child (best idea ever! It is so good to spend time with each child alone, or in Charlotte’s case with Ads as well!). Despite all this, we did get… Continue reading Precious Moments

I love being back at school! I know I always say this, but our family is a much happier family when we are occupied. We all thoroughly enjoy the idea of a break, and we always enjoy the first week or so, but any longer and we all start to slowly go mad… So back… Continue reading Precious Moments
Homeschool Log Book {2021-2022}
There has been a lot of goodness in this year. I feel like we have found our rhythm as Charlotte’s health has improved enough that she did not need me so much. Lillie started her degree and she suddenly turned into a social butterfly which meant we hardly saw her! And Thomas has moved out,… Continue reading Homeschool Log Book {2021-2022}

Precious Moments Christmas Style!
What a great week, apart from today when we received a bill of £260 for a ten minute appointment with the neurologist (which we knew about) plus a £160 bill for a five minute telephone call to give us the brain scan results (which we were not told about). This definitely was a horrible ending… Continue reading Precious Moments Christmas Style!

Dare I say it, but life is definitely taking a turn for the normal. Apart from a leaking roof and Ad’s rather nasty ear ache, we are all doing well and working hard without the anxiety surrounding Charlotte bringing us all down. It has been a good week, not least I am sure, because the… Continue reading Precious Moments

Because it is just a casual sketch, it… Continue reading Art Lab for Kids: Lab 3 – Scribble Drawings
