Five On A Friday #3

Well here we are third week in a row with another 'five on a Friday'!!

In The Home

This week has seen us wrapping up a few bits and pieces all ready to take a bit of a break over the coming Easter period and beyond for a few days.

We've been making plans to catch up with family and friends, especially those we don't get see much during the school term.

In School

My eldest is wrapping up his last lesson in his M-U-S Pre Algebra book, this is my reminder to jump on and order Algebra 1 for him.

Our middle child is still powering through her very focused reading lessons, she's devouring simple chapter books now and is well on her way to becoming a proficient reader. If you have a struggling reader don't despair, things really do fall into place....eventually!

The youngest has also just made a huge jump in reading and has moved up a complete level in our Fitzroy reading program.

Out & About

We were able to get in a few hours at the beach this past week. The weather is definitely starting to cool down so beach visits will start becoming few and far between shortly.

I had my regular monthly catch up with my book club gals. Such a welcome night each month, full of great food, great discussions, great people and lots and lots of belly laughs!

This month we read Still Alice, a highly recommended read.

On The Net

I've been reading this article which covers some of the things to consider when your child isn't at grade level.

On My Blog

It's been a pretty quiet on the blog, you can tell how busy my weeks have been, if the blog is quiet ;-)

With Easter now upon us I thought I'd share a round up post to all of our Easter related themes.

And that's about it for another week. No matter what you do or how you celebrate over this coming long weekend, may it be one filled with happiness!

Five On A Friday #2

This week we've been away on our annual homeschool family camp. We hit the country this time around. Last year it was the beach so we wanted to offer up something different this year.

It goes without saying that this weeks 5 on a Friday will focus heavily on our fun at camp!

In The Home

I soaked up the gorgeous country views and the fresh country air.

In School

We certainly got our country on this week, with all manner of activities. Butter & Damper making, Billy Tea boiling races, branding, shearing and watching a horse get some new shoes. There was also whip cracking, yabby fishing, bush hut building and horse riding.

Out & About

Today we were very lucky to be test pilots in the brand new Spaceflight Academy soon to open on the Gold Coast. 

On The Net

I've been looking over this Financial Planning program to see if it would be suitable for use here in Australia.

On My Blog

This week I posted two reviews, one on the new Math-U-See Digital Packs and the other on a new elearning product from EdTechLens, learning all about the Rainforest.

And that about wraps up another week.
