Journaling

I mentioned in my post on Doing the Days that I would tell you about our experiences of journaling - so here they are!!
I got into journaling (although I had always journaled a little) after reading The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. She advocates the use of morning pages - 3 pages to be written […]

Times Tables

We have been re-visiting our times tables the last few weeks (to be fair - I am the one who needs the practice!).  Some of these resources are already on my blog, but I thought it would be useful to pull them all together.

Big Brainz have a multiplication PC game called Timez Attack. You can […]

Free Home Education Resources

As a home educator, I am always on the lookout for free resources I can use - and places where I can share the ones I find!! There are lots of websites that focus on this - here are a few that I use.

Home_Education_Resources is a yahoo group to “find and promote resources for home […]

Apparently, “Schoolhouse Rock originally aired on the ABC Television Network from 1973 to 1985. This classic series of three-minute educational vignettes combined animation, hip music, and catchy lyrics to tackle lessons in American history, the rules of grammar, multiplication tables, science, government, and finance. Its toe-tapping lyrics […]

The Jolly Christmas Postman by Janet and Allan Ahlberg is a lovely […]

The Toymaker

Whilst searching for something entirely different, I happened upon a great site this week. Its called The Toymaker and it has lots of printable paper toys to make. I think the Wind Boats look great fun, and I think my boy would like Florimel the Magnificent.
Definitely a site to keep up your sleeve for a rainy […]

Podcasts and Audio

We don’t tend to listen to a lot of radio in our house - but we love to listen to stuff on CD in the car.  I already have posted about audiobooks, but we also like to download other ‘listens’. Here are some of our favorites:

Radio Children is a free UK podcast. Sound quality is sometimes […]

Cooking up culture

I wonder if I am preaching to the converted with this post, but one of the things we have been implementing is a monthly(ish!) ‘culture cooking’ session.  We choose a different country (or historical period) each session - and then try to cook and eat a meal from that place. This has been a great success […]
