Little Star Homeschool

Robert and I stayed up on Saturday night watching Charlie and Lola DVDs in the big bed and of course the lunar eclipse. There were plenty of wow's as I explained what was happening to the moon.

Robert is now reading books to me like this one by Phil Cummings, its written in chapters with simple black and white line drawings and more text than the picture books he's used to. He read it fluently, struggling on only three words he was unfamiliar with. I printed some World Book Day reward certificates from the Scholastic website and put them on the wall alongside the many posters we have collected.

Today we played a couple of board games I found while tidying a cupboard, a number game and a very old Jungle Book game.

Robert is very excited because John and I have finally decided the location for this years holiday. We have picked Paignton in Devon, miles of clean sandy beaches with rockpools for exploring, a zoo and live steam! And still only 4.5 hours on the train, roughly the same journey time as Norfolk. Did i mention the cream teas? I can't wait hehe.
