Dancing In The Mud: December 2014
http://dancinginthemud.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Dancing In The Mud. A home educating life. Why and how we home educate. Wednesday, 17 December 2014. Christmas craft and beach. Harry finished sewing his Christmas tree decoration this morning. He likes this type of pre-punched sewing kit. Peter made a cut-out window decoration and a Lego/jam jar snowstorm. Harry did this a few weeks ago and Peter wanted to make a matching one. The glue-gun glue in Harry's had unstuck too so we used superglue this time on the jar lids. Tuesday, 16 December 2014. We also ...

Dancing In The Mud. A home educating life. Why and how we home educate. Saturday, 31 May 2014. Day in the garden. It has been a lovely and productive day around home. Peter and I went to the allotment this morning to plant our seedlings in the beds. We put sweetcorn, squash and courgettes in and realised we have quite a lot of weeding to do this week! Stuart and Harry cut the grass at home and there was slide and ball play. Followed by water gun play with Daddy, of course, as the target! We walked over t...

Dancing In The Mud: June 2014
http://dancinginthemud.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Dancing In The Mud. A home educating life. Why and how we home educate. Sunday, 29 June 2014. Great Fire of London workshop. We had a look at a map and some paintings of London at the time of the fire. We discussed the architecture of the time and how that contributed to the spread of the fire: streets close together and overhanging jetties. We really enjoyed the workshop. Peter spent most of it cutting up an old magazine and making pictures with it, so he was happy! Wednesday, 25 June 2014. Harry was en...

Dancing In The Mud. A home educating life. Why and how we home educate. Wednesday, 7 January 2015. New Year home education. We had a lovely two week Christmas holiday and saw all of our close family. It feels like a long time since I updated here! Stuart went back to work on Monday but before that we went swimming, visited the Centre for Life and Gibside together. We have also played many, many games of Uno, read lots of new books and built Lego Christmas presents. I won't be changing much about our rout...

Dancing In The Mud: February 2015
http://dancinginthemud.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Dancing In The Mud. A home educating life. Why and how we home educate. Monday, 16 February 2015. We had fun with some science activities last week and were joined by some friends. I used the Dyson challenge cards, which were free from the learning section of the Dyson website, and we explored expanding gases and viscosity. These were very effective and simple demonstrations and I love the concise explanations on the cards of the science behind it. Monday, 9 February 2015. Finally, an update! Harry has s...

Dancing In The Mud. A home educating life. Why and how we home educate. Tuesday, 16 December 2014. Playing games, craft and swimming. We were all very tired this morning after being away at the weekend. We also had friends over to play yesterday, a bike ride and the Beavers Christmas disco, which was a later night than usual. And we played our new favourite game - Uno. Both boys love this and Harry would play for ages but Peter gets bored after a few rounds. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Adventures...

Dancing In The Mud: September 2014
http://dancinginthemud.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Dancing In The Mud. A home educating life. Why and how we home educate. Monday, 29 September 2014. We really enjoyed a museum workshop with other home educating families this morning. The theme was 'dinosaur detectives'. We handled fossils and talked about how they became fossilised and about how we know facts about extinct animals. We compared carnivore and herbivore teeth and even saw pictures of fossilised dinosaur poo, which was very popular with the children of course! Friday, 26 September 2014.

Dancing In The Mud. A home educating life. Why and how we home educate. Friday, 24 October 2014. Art, party, parks and decorating. Harry finished his latest picture at art class last week - a rhino. This is my favourite so far; I like the green shading. We joined some friends for a Halloween party - the boys loved filling the pumpkin piñata with a huge amount of sweets, although they only had a handful each! We haven't painted yet but will be doing it soon, along with carpet shopping! Thursday, 23 Octobe...
