Alex attended karate on Saturday morning as he’d missed it on Friday having been at Kryal castle. He came away saying that he wanted to attend every Saturday! Daniel and I played together on his iPad in the car. He has this pet doctor app that he loves, I also got him thee ‘Mike the […]

                    We spent the following 2 days at Kryal Castle as part of a homeschool educational tour. It worked well because we got to do a lot of things we wouldn’t have ordinarily been able to do as a family group and met Alex’s wish to […]

The kids were rushing me to get to their friends house, so we kept busy with lego, puzzles, trains, cutting and more until it was time to leave. The kids had a great play with what they call their best friends – Alex gets to play with barbies as he doesn’t have any himself, we […]

The first few days of 2016 were quiet for us, with some home play. Daniel has been pretend cooking a lot lately, especially when we got to someone else’s house that has a proper kiddie kitchen set up. So I set up a table and some of his mini cook toys and some containers and […]

We started the week with a visit to Werribee Zoo as we haven’t been for an age! Alex was pleased that we got around the whole zoo. The kids really enjoyed the bus safari (after we eventually made it on, what a busy day!) and this was probably the first time that Daniel has really […]

I organised a homeschool group outing to the local bike education centre. It was very popular, although the organising was a little tricky. It was such a good value for money experience, the kids absolutely loved it! Alex surprised me by obeying the road rules pretty well. Daniel was zooming around on his bike, not […]

In line with Alex’s interest in birds of prey, I organised a visit to ‘Full flight’ which had an open day at it’s new location near Ballarat. It was a long drive with these 2, they are not fans of being in the car for too long. The bird show was great – it included […]

We took another trip to Serendip Sanctuary to see it at our own pace. Alex told me that he wasn’t interested in birds generally, just birds of prey (and pigeons of course!!) We didn’t see much other than a  Tawny Frogmouth (in captivity and wild). But it was a nice few hours. On the way, […]

We finally had the Erth’s dinosaur show – it feels like I organised it an eternity ago. We went along to the education/schools show with other homeschoolers. The show was okay, the kids enjoyed it – even Daniel! I’ve been slowly going through some resources previously purchased when i was in ‘education’ mode and found […]
