Juliette continued with her maths division today, still using Diddy divide, but I put a few story sums together for her, just to ease her into the idea. She handled them brilliantly. Tomorrow we’ll do straight division sums, and see how they go! I’ve uploaded the division story sums onto the FREE MATHS WORKSHEETS page. […]

Well Jules did her B’s today. I can see she feels so grown up, writing, “properly”. She’s doing them beautifully, it’s such a pleasure to see. I’ve put together a lined writing sheet to help her, I’ll upload it to the site as soon as I can. It’s helped her a stack!
Once her cursive writing […]

For the majority of this year Juliette has been concentrating on languages and other subjects, but only a little maths. Slowly teaching her to trust me, that if she gets it wrong it’s not the end of the world. It is a nasty memory from her private school days that has put her off maths. […]

We did K, today, and how we do this is through […]

Hi Everyone,
I have a breathing space, the kids are drawing and listening to J. Strauss. They picked it out of our CD collection. Next thing I heard it in the background. So fantastic!
We started school again today, after a 5 day break. It was a whole new experience for me, as StJohn started his Grade […]

Hi Everyone,
The kids and I weren’t planning on taking a holiday yet, but then things changed in our lives on Tuesday last week.
I could see they were feeling tired. I was exhausted, and Homesick as anything. I miss Cape Town! We watched the DVD The Secret, and had a life changing experience. I made a […]

Hi Everyone,
Just to let you know…. I’ve just uploaded a stunning FREE EASY KIDS RECIPE for CHUNKY CHOCOLATE SQUARES. They are so yummy. We make them often.
It’s one of the recipes in the HOMESCHOOL BOOK I wrote on CONQUERING BAKERS DAY. Take it from me, baking should be fun, easy to clean afterwards, and STRESS […]

Hi Everyone just a quick post. I just had to let you know about this.
StJohn is due to start Grade 1 soon, and I was looking for a way to make Maths fun, kids learn better when they are taught as part of a game.
I made up Games when I did Grade 1, 2 […]
