The School holidays

Monday saw the start of the Summer Holidays. The boys spent the day playing outside, and having friends over. We also looked at a new app that helps you identify things like plants and creatures. Here's one we found.

We are trying to do a little formal work each day to keep the children from forgetting and losing skills. It's a thing here and causes much frustration. Sam wanted to do some writing.

Then they watched a programme on Bullfrogs using Wildkratts, which is excellent and fun.

Owen then chose to do some maths and worked really well and happily.

They then shot off to the park to play with their friends.

We go round to our regular home ed meet up today and play with friends, have a catch up.

The next morning Sam is feeling better and keen to start jogging again. He was disappointed  to have to stop due to his asthma flailing up.

We collected so pebbles to paint.

Back home Owen worked on attempting some cursive writing, but he found it frustratingly hard.

This week sees the children's birthdays. There were cards and presents to open.

New clothes for both of them.

Which they were happy with.

Lots of cards and birthday money.

And some chocolate cake as requested.

Plus huge chocolate bars.

We took the boys to town so they could spend their birthday money and to the supermarket, where they wanted to buy their own choice of birthday meals. Curry for Owen and Steak pie for Sam.
