With week one of Home Education<\/a> being such a success I am pleased to say that week two went even better. We definitely got a lot more learning done (more than I could possibly remember to tell you – and I am not going to even try to record every detail as that is not the approach I want to have anyway). As I cannot remember things exactly I am going to have to go roughly by my photos to let you know what we have been up to. Needless to say I do think that we have more of a routine forming – which is beneficial to The Sensory Seeker for routine, the 10 year old because I am not planning for him to be out of school long and myself – so I don\u2019t go crazy!<\/p>\n

Home Education Week 2 Day 1 Monday<\/u><\/h2>\n

You may remember me saying at the end of Home Education week 1 that our ten year old had taken an 11+ exam. We got the results much quicker than we thought and were amazed at how well he did. He scored 83% and was the second highest child (out of 45 taking the test). In some areas he got 100% and others near enough (we later got detailed results and he had only got one question wrong). But now I do have a list of areas that I can plan out where he needs help\/practice. One of the areas was the Non Verbal Reasoning and so he has practised with Explore Learning online, Planet BOFA and some sheets I printed out from TES. He mainly did well in areas to do with English and I said that I thought that is was because of all the reading he does (and his intelligence) and therefore he needs to ensure he keeps that up.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile I had identified that The Sensory Seeker is struggling with sentences so, again with the help from TES, I printed off this story that had pictures and sentences with words you could cut out. He had to order the words to make sense and then match them to the pictures, putting the story in the right order.\"home<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course Monday afternoon means a trip to the soft play area. We had no food in the house to grab lunch before we went so we nipped into the supermarket and got sausage rolls etc. We really need to get more organised with food and stuff – I am not sure where the day goes! Of course Monday night is also swimming night. I also had good news that my car was fixed!<\/p>\n

Home Education Week 2 Day 2 Tuesday<\/u><\/h3>\n

Again the boys were very keen getting on with Maths and English early in the morning. We then went to collect my car and then went to their Great Nan\u2019s who had one of my friend\u2019s coming out to do her hair. While they were there they completed Maths sheets I had printed off. We came home for lunch and the 10 year old really wanted to cook it. I was quite surprised at how much I take for granted. I taught how to open a tin of soup that has a pull ring, and remind him about safety (such as making sure the saucepan is on the hob properly and the handle is turned away from the edge). They went to an Explore Learning Session before coming home to some more reading of Harry Potter. The 10 year old also had swimming and I went to running club again.<\/p>\n
