It always amazes me how being really sick gives you a better appreciation for your health and well being. At present Sir N and I are both really sick with the flu :( So I'm afraid this weeks blogging and HSMJ took a back seat to DVD marathons and sleeping. Together we have watched Season 4 of Mythbusters. Had to get some school in right ?
In our home school this week…
- We concentrated on Maths.
- Together we began reading Macbethwhich is part of the Young Readers Shakespeare serries. We are both very impressed and Sir N has been begging me to read more or read before we do school writing which a sure sign of a living book!
