Uneventful Day · Wednesday March 7, 2007 by Rose
Continuing on with their game, and the card making, JJ today decided to produce the cards on the pc. We’ve told him if he writes up the instructions for his new, card based game, we can offer it out to his home ed friends!
Watch out Richard Branson!
We all made a new friend today, when a lovely couple came around with their 5 year old to talk about home education, and about being involved in our local HE group. The young lad settled down quite quickly with my three, and they all seemed to get on well. Bearing in mind that three of the four boys were ones who had all been – for different reasons – labelled as difficult at school, it makes you realise just where the problem lies; certainly not with our kids.
Today we received through the free DVD The Transporters courtesy of the NAS. SJ saw the box and is itchiing to watch it, but I said we wanted to all watch it together so he is going to have to wait till tomorrow. Very impressed with it so far, and the accompanying book though.
The boys watched a bit of Class TV today – mainly the Maths Channel – which was good. They go through phases of watching lots of “educational” tv and hopefully this might be the start of one of those phases!
I spent a lot of the day battling with this computer, which we’ve had problems with since the day we bought it, after dh loaded on some new software that caused a huge conflict; ending in the entire system going haywire. Just about got it going again (at least I’ve got the internet back!) but it looks like tomorrow we’ll have to back it up, and then wipe it completely. PC World say, if it still doesn’t work properly after that, then they’ll look at exchanging it…
