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 […]

English from the Roots Up

In our quest for all things Greek (!) I came across a program by Joegil Lundquist called English from the Roots Up. Her book and word cards teach children Latin and Greek root words as a way of understanding the system by which many English words are composed. A quote from the introduction of the book says “Why […]

Snowflakes craft

If you are doing christmas decorations at the moment, try this snowflakes site. We have had a lot of fun with the mini-flakes - adding them to our decorations and home-made christmas cards. And the high-resolution photographs of snowflakes are wonderful!

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

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 […]
