Week 8

Done (well, for English and Maths anyway - Humanities can wait..).
Reports sent off.
On Track.

Week 7 over

Well, its been a good week. Jonty has done all his Maths and English for week 7. Next week we can do Week 8 which is another assessment week. I am still a bit behind with Humanities, but ... honestly ... not too worried. We can catch up some time.

I still get irritated when Jonty does not think. Do all home school parents experience this? Or am I just an old battle-axe???

I am getting wiser, I think, at what we do and what we select not to do. Looking forward to getting feedback again at the end of next week.

Jonty is reading a Roald Dahl book now, which is laugh-out-loud funny. So good for him!

What's up?

No blogging for a while because... well, there's been no home-schooling.

Yesterday I did a whole week of English lessons - in 1 hour, and the day before I did 3 Maths lessons (also one hour). Officially this should have taken 8 hours. Ha ha.

I think the trick to getting this all done is skimming through it all, then zoning in on areas which are problematic. All the lessons from this past week (Week 6) were non-problematic so we COULD go fast.

Jonty is reading like an absolute star. He is fully into Enid Blyton now.
