Life so far.........

So far life with out school hasn’t been very different although I am enjoying the feeling of having no homework as I imagine many school children are.  Noah and I have been doing lots of arts and crafts with are new art things also I have been doing lots of yummy cooking, which I enjoy doing very much.

Whilst around the table at dinner we have discussed many ideas for projects which we will carryout during the year starting with the biggest one, making Christmas presents. Too many people this wouldn’t seem like learning but really you can learn many skills for example sewing, knitting, cooking even learning how to use a sewing machine!  Through out the last few weeks of school members of class would ask me questions like which day will you start? Which lessons you will do? Even who will be teaching you? To most questions I just gave the simplest answer or shrugged my shoulders because for even the smartest children in my Class they would still get confused as they are so used to formal education!

Some times I wish children would just open their minds up and think that there other ways to learn! What are they being taught these days?
