For one reason and another, I haven’t written one of these posts for a month or two… no real reason other than life being busy and finding less time to write. But, the end of the summer break and the eve of a new academic year seems like a good time to pick it...

  Another month passes by and we are now moving into the summer term, and the final term of this school year. We have had a busy month and are thankful that we seem to be on the way to better weather now! Spring seems to have taken its time to get going this year...

  Another month and another round up – the year seems to be hurtling by and with it the move into what would be D’s final year of primary school and some big decisions ahead in the autumn for us. But for now, we will continue on as we are. April has been a mixed... Read More The post A Month of Home Ed – April 2023 appeared first on Let Them Be Small ..read more

Another month and I am a little late writing this up as I am full of a cold and hayfever and generally feeling a bit meh. The time of year when I need a break and just take a step back from it all.

  After a terrible December I am pleased to say that January has been much much better! We have managed to crack on with a huge amount of work, as well as get back to our regular groups and the such. It’s been good to get back into a rhythm and to see the diary... Read More The post A Month of Home Ed – January 2023 appeared first on Let Them Be Small ..read more

  Well, I wasn’t going to write a December post, as it was a truly horrible month for us and very little happened in the way of learning, but I figure it’s good to show when things don’t quite go as planned…. December should have been a month of celebrations here, for the first time... Read More The post A Month of Home Ed – December 2022 appeared first on Let Them Be Small ..read more

  June has been and gone and with it another birthday for one of the children. June has been busy and the children have worked hard to finish up projects as well as progressing through the usual core subjects too. It’s felt a bit stilted in parts due to D not being well at the start... Read More The post Our Month in Home Education -June 2022 appeared first on Let Them Be Small ..read more

Friday of last week saw our penultimate project fair of the (academic) year with a Nature themed fair. The premise of the fairs if quite simple – create a project connected to the theme. So, our theme was nature and the children each chose a project, which I have shared below. Anna Atkins & Cyanotypes...

Well, I wasn’t sure if I was going to post a round-up of the things we have been doing, but I do quite enjoy the reflecting on how quiet or busy a month has been, and I’ve finally found time, halfway through October, to reflect on the previous month. A combination of having been awake... Read More The post A Month of Home Ed – September 2022 appeared first on Let Them Be Small ..read more
