Homeschooling plan for 2009
Ok I have been thinking and planning this over the last couple of weeks.
So far i have got
Homeschooling two sessions
9.00am - 10am
10.30am - 12.pm
We will always start with a story, first read by me then Lucas.
And to make all this interesting, I am using unit studies this year.
Monday
* Reading and Maths
* handicraft
Tuesday
* Reading and form drawing
* music
Thursday
* Reading and science
* nature study
Friday
* Reading and French
* cooking
*first unit study - 'Our body'
Disscussing the different systems, nutrition, germs, and our 5 senses.
Mollie is keen to start next week, Lucas when the school kids return to school.
I am planing to start around the 19th January.
We will continue our family read a loud 'Famous Five' series - we are just about to start book 4 tonight. We always read a chapter as a family before bed.
This is a general plan, could change!

Underwater torches!
Are a HIT!!
Thanks Nana and Pop.
The kids have been in the pool most nights with their torches. We have turn the pool light off and the Christmas lights to get the full effect.

Moon Gardening Calender

I am using it with my vegetable growing this year. Click the link above and have a read, it is very interesting and the people who designed it have been using it for 20 or so years live up at Kuranda, so close to us!
Few clothes I have made of late!
A dress for my niece - using my favourite 'Olivia' pattern by Farbenmix.
Knit is from Crafty Mamas!
A cute little skirt for Mollie, using my own design!
Cotton from One Stop Fabric Shop and waistband made from Hot Pink Stella knit
A nightie for Mollie, using a pattern from one of mine Japanese pattern magazine and lovely Euro cotton.
Another nightie for Mollie, using this free pattern. The shirring is just lovely and so easy!!
