Our second term at Vision Valley School ended last Thursday, and the powers that be decided, in all their wisdom, to give us a two-day break to recover from the previous term and prepare for the new one. I, in all my wisdom, ended up spending the second of those two days at the Midgley home where the boys were busy with their homeschooling. Take a break from school to hang out at a different school ... Very clever!
But it was considerably less stressful than my typical school day. Evan and I drank tea and ate rusks, did some informal mathematics on the couch, and before we knew it the other boys had finished their schoolwork, and we could all get down to some serious play...

| Andy learning about carrots. Hold on, that's the world made to look like orange veggies. |
 |
| Justin - head down and learn as much as possible so I can get outta here! |
 |
| All work and no play makes Jem a dull boy |
 |
| Grade 1 is SO much fun! Reece get writing |
 |
| And lets not forget Evan... He learns through osmosis, absorbing from his bright brothers... |
How nice to have a break! I too just enjoyed an overnight break from my "job" this last weekend. I'm trying not to wish it would have been longer...contentment can be so elusive. :) Oh man that smiley face just sneaked in there before I could stop it!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just LOVE the way these boys WORK with smiles on their faces? We LOVE homeschooling too!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed your break, R ....
