NOTICE ON PICS - All pics on this blog (unless otherwise stated) are my personal work. DO NOT take pics from this blog without seeking my permission first! Bless you.

Welcome to my blog. It is updated weekly with pictures and projects from our homeschool - maybe you can find something to inspire you :) I have a (no longer updated) materials page elsewhere on my website and will, occasionally, post my homemade materials in this blog.

I'm married to Tim (delivery driver and gorgeous musician), have 2 daughters, live on the south coast of the UK and have 1 aging cat (Hemmingway or Hemmy for short). I love reading, yoga, crafts, baking, daft old comedies, music and teaching.

NOTE ON PICTURES: This shouldn't be necessary but I have, sadly, noticed growing cases. Please DO NOT link directly to pictures on this website - it steals my bandwidth and is BAD! I CAN trace you if you do and I will take action.

Owls!

This Sunday just gone we visited Liberty's Owl, Raptor and Reptile Centre in Ringwood - really lovely place if you're ever in the area! :) Anyway, we watched a great display and looked at all the lovely creatures and also found some Siberian Eagle Owl feathers down on the floor by their enclosure. So, we grabbed those to put in the girls nature notebooks :)

Today, they got notebook updating - April drew a picture of an owl and stuck her feather in her book (I just added the date and place found and the name of the owl). Rosie put her feather in with date/name information and then went a bit further and wrote some information about the eagle owls along with a drawing.

I just discovered your blog and think how you are home educating is wonderful. I have thought of this in the past for my son now in P1 at primary school and my daughter at nursery. I am a Christian and have maybe different reasons to you for wanting to do this. I wondered if you had any advice on taking a 5 year old out of school who is so used to the system? I really think I can do it but worry about socialisation for him but all we seem to have is backchat and rudeness since he started school. It could be just normal little boy behaviour of course! Any advice would be very much appreciated. I love your blog. Collette x
