Autumn days..

Lately I have been too busy to blog, we just seem to have so much going on! we have started a new free online homeschool curriculum; http://allinonehomeschool.com/grades/first-grade/ we are working our way through the first grade, and it covers pretty much everything - literacy, math, science, history, bible study. At the moment we're having fun learning about the human body and ancient egyptians. We are still doing our own thing as well, but spending an hour each day doing the curriculum is giving me more focus... I no longer get that feeling that we're not doing enough! Here's some more things we have been up to...

Monochrome painting, with our atelier box....

Halloween night time trail at Hestercombe Gardens ...we don't celebrate haloween but this was just a  bit of fun...

And a firework display with friends in their village

We also went on a (very cold, wet and muddy) home ed farm visit where we got to watch sheep being herded, feed the horses and chickens and pick apples from the orchard

We have SO many apples, from SO many foraging expeditions, we decided to make some apple crumble - Acey has made a recipe book, so he wrote the recipe down in there

And here is our home ed group which we recently started up again! It's lots of fun :)
