Class 6 Plan

Happily my class 6 plan is now more or less complete.

So far it looks like we'll be doing geometry, geology, Ancient Rome, the Australian govt, Business Maths, Medieval history, Physics- acoustics, light, optics and heat, english, Asian geography, and Astronomy as our main blocks.

Texts that I'm looking at using include- Beowulf, stories of King Arthur and Robin Hood, the Aeneid, Faerie Queen, Arabian Nights, Boy Apprenticed to An Enchanter and The Story of Rome.

Craft wise will be a project involving making a proportional stuffed animal- a year long project involving drawing and modelling and then creating a stuffed toy. Possibly there will also be an embroidery project, since Gabriel will be doing one for class 4.

Reading Detour

Both my Amazon orders arrived today, so I was quite excited....piles of books that I'd been waiting weeks for! A few interesting cookbooks on raw food, and one from the Weston Price Foundation, some good homeschooling ones,........and The Princess and Curdie!

Everyone was very excited, we were enjoying The Never Ending Story, but enthusiasm for George MacDonald won. So we're back to him.
