The Dreamboard

One of my roles as a parent (as I see them) is to ensure that my children understand the concept of ‘goal-setting’ - how to set a goal and work towards achieving it, and to inspire them to have great dreams and hopes for their future.  This New Year we are going to create a […]

Audiobook Review - Anne of Green Gables

 We seem to have been in the car a lot lately. Luckily, we have had Anne of Green Gables with us, and she has made it a pleasure. 
We listened to unabridged versions which I downloaded from Audible (I have listed them below) but there are several versions on itunes or free from Librivox.

Escape Room Games

The children wanted to know more about ‘Ancient Greece’ and ‘Ancient Egypt’ after  playing Age of Mythology (there is a free trial download here) so we have spent the last few weeks on this topic using various resources. But I wanted to find […]

Educational Interview

Am still hunting for home education podcasts, and during my search I found The Goldston Acadamy Blog.  Amanda has recently been interviewed on  a radio station called “Interview with Spirit”. The result is a very interesting discussion about conciousness based education - its not about home education as such, but about education in general.  Its about an hour […]
