Started off quiet
as Big slept in til 8.30 and the rest of us til just after 9. Wow. Small had woken me a little earlier (by trying to sleep in the same location as my rib cage) but it wasn’t too bad as these things go. They did some drawing, and playing, and ate huge amounts of…
Beginning to wonder
if we might have cracked it. There appears to be child led learning going on all over the place. It’s a bit more contrived than I expected, but I think that could just be me getting into the swing of it. Today we have done more MMM stuff, including planting (do you call it planting…
So how was swimming Sarah?
‘cos it went well here. We were late, again, but it wasn’t our fault – is it just me that thinks signs saying “Swimming pool carpark” imply that the car park is meant for users of the swimming pool? Apparently there was a cross country taking place somewhere around the place – so the carpark…

Well, it seemed like a quiet day
until I got around to ticking the category list! How did we fit so much in? Up very early is one clue, as it was Big’s swimming lesson at 9.40 this morning. She and I fell out before and after, although she managed extremely well during (and I did make sure I told her so,…
Thursday Jorvik and National Railway Museum.
After a really terrible night (the children took it in turns to wake up screaming, or lie on my throat, or just generally disturb me) we got ourselves organised and took the bus into the centre of the city to meet up with Joyce, Kath and Tech at Jorvik. I’d not met Tech before, so…
