Home education through sickness and health.
A mystery virus which is not covid (apparently) is still kicking all of us down.
So how's the home education going with us?
They've read more in the past week then they have in the past month, no energy distracting them.
They're writing get well soon cards to each other, stencilling/drawing/colouring, and practicing how to type via the Xbox controller on Minecraft writing diary entries.
We have a cafe set up at the back of the living room and the children are taking it in turns to feed each other delectable meals which turn my stomach despite being plastic. The food I'm actually cooking is a token gesture currently, if you're hungry eat out of the fridge, it's set up for a cold buffet.
Lots of educational Youtube playlist and Ipad time happening on general knowledge, science, phonics, animals. The occasional mental maths or spellings round.
There was a heated debate punctuated by sneezing between the girls, on identifying fruit and vegetables.
Lots of piano practice.
They're loving the sneak peaks we're getting from Gavin McCormack, who is an inspiring Montessori teacher who is on a Misson to bring the world to children, you can follow him on here and facebook. I can't wait for the official Arctic course on Upschool to be released in the autumn.
