Why we love Homeschool Reason #1

On Wednesday we went to buy a Ukulele as Merenia will be starting lessons soon.

We went at 9am.

Which we so wouldn't have been able to do if she was at school.

We came home and she jumped on the net and started surfing ukulele websites and looking for instructions, chord charts and sheet music.

Which we so wouldn't have been able to do if she was at school.

She spent the whole day practicing and teaching herself. (and much of Thursday and Friday as well.)

I've been covering Kieran's books ready for school tomorrow this year we decided to use Calvin and Hobbes Cartoons...

Thank-you Mr Watterson!

Inspiration 1

I have a file of images and ideas that we could use to inspire our home educating these ones I discovered on the Cool Hunter.

Basically this is a little blog we set up to document our journey towards homeschooling way back when we were a Kiwi family of 5. Mum, Dad and the kids 12, 9 and 2.
We were looking at homeschooling our middle child. And did so for a year before she decided to head back to school.
We have since added to our family and moved to Perth, WA.
In July 2015 we made the decision to take our now seven year old out of school and homeschool him for at least the remainder of the year. While his 4 year old brother attended a wonderful play based Kindy in the Perth Hills.
In February 2016 having worked together to make the decision the now 8 year old is back at school. And I have my 4.5 year old homeschooling with me for 'Pre-primary'.
At 5 and a bit years 'the youngest' started school and hopefully our homeschooling journey is done. Which means that this blog won't be added to any more.
