flying summerhouses and education

Today we went to music club after watching the summerhouse bouncing up and down!!I could bare it no more...I was sure it was going to fly off, it has shifted a bit but still ok....phew.....
The plan was to go to the bank and get petrol before music club but Wayne didn't wake up til 9am!! lucky thing, I didn't wake him as with all these viruses around I thought it better to leave him....
This afternoon we've played and coloured, went to school then back for playdoh....
Suddenly realised this morning that Easter crafts need to be done quick smart, we've only got the rest of this week and up to Thurs next week....as I'm off Good Friday...yehhhh....then just working Saturday and off for a week.....hee hee haven here we come....
Everything seems so close together with Easter being early....so my next job is to find something to do with shel and the kids tomorrow
OOh and I nearly forgot, Waynes been doing lots of letters and asking me how to write names etc and tonight he wrote his name with no help or copying....and in the right order.....he loves doing words so that's been the latest thing, I often forget to blog what we do with regards to 'education' probably because its happening all the time and every day has some form of learning...albeit not from a book or the conventional way...I find if I try and sit Wayne down to do work he resists....yet with his lead we spent 2 hours of him writing tonight.....I had planned to do some formal lessons but looks like its autonomous all the way...lol...who cares as long as he's happy xxx
Funny I was reading my dhc unit material and it bangs on about holistic approach to learning and how its better to follow the childs lead etc.....just up to the age of 4....then shove them in school make them sit at a desk and learn what they're told....hmmm....well it doesn't say that but I know what I'm on about....lol
That reminds me thinking about government....wonder what was in the budget?? wild guess...money on all my vices and essential petrol...sure I heard mention of helping families in the lead up.....oooh maybe an extra £5 a year in our pockets...
Oh well off in search of easter goodies....not my time of year....choccy!!!
