It's Today, It's Today!!

For our family, home school started today!

Fun and great learning was in store for us. The girls were beside themselves with excitement. I must say that I too couldn't wait.

We started off with a quick walk for some fresh air and our water bottles. When we got back we did our prayer with daily scripture and devotional.

The girls then did a puzzle while I got a few things done in the house. We moved on to English (penmanship and reading) and then had a tea break. After tea it was Maths, History (San and Khoi people of the Kalahari Desert) and Geography (mountain ranges of South Africa). Lunch Break with Daddy (came home from work for the occasion) and then finished off with Literature.

What started off as a "High Five Sisty, we are homeschoolers now!" turned into a .... WRESTLING MATCH!!

They were left begging for more but you know, tommorow is another day!

One Week Down

... and one and a half still to go!

Exams are half way through and the weekend is finally here. So far so good, Caitlyn has said she has coped with everything asked in the papers she has written this week. The proof will be in the much waited for report, lets keep our fingers crossed.

Next week we have Arts and Culture, History, Geography, Bible Education and Technology. Let's not be hasty and wish life away, but it would be nice to breathe easy knowing that the exams are over.

Today I have given her a break from learning as this afternoon they have Kids Club at Clearwater Mall and the theme is Tinkerbell - sounds like it should be fun.

As I am typing, the smell of scrambled eggs is wafting up to me, Caitlyn is making lunch for her sister and herself. She has become independant so quickly, learning how to cook e.t.c. She even wanted to iron her own shirt the other day for school and was so proud to wear it.

Well, here is to the weekend, may we have a bit of sunshine.
