text-align: center;">
Both our two needed to visit the dentist...in Auckland...goodness! 2 hours there and 2 hours back but had to do it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With my new phone I've been using google maps and the connection with my car stereo and then we have "Jazz" help us get there ... the kids have been loving watching the little blue arrow going down the road and then "Jazz" telling us to turn in so many meters. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So what we did was go to the dentist...using google...then we went to North Head to explore. We really needed a lot more time but it was right at the end of the day and we were all worried about getting stuck in traffic like we did on the way down.</div>

Then we went down the tunnels. Poor DD was NOT keen at all and she's normally the brave one...this day it swapped over. DS found a small passage way and wanted to explore while DD freaked out. We had torches and did look a little way but I didn't push too much.<br />

I'm finding it really hard to get the right level of reading for her...its GREAT being able to put things on the Kindle so we can make the size of the writing bigger.<br />
DD loves the Famous Five Secret Seven and Pirates.<br />
Anything with adventures in it<br />
<br />
Hummm maybe I'll look for DS too...at the moment I'm using Jolly Phonics books for him but he's getting very confused with the amount of words and the picture all in one.<br />
Maybe I'll make some of my own.<br />
For DS's read aloud at night he's listening to Redwall...lovely story about mice in an abby...and of course there is a sword and fighting.<br />
<br />
Both kids are enjoying The Hobbit...this is the second time I started it and they really didn't get it. We brought the large artist books from the movie. WOW they spend ages pawing through these as I read the book.<br />
Loving it.<br />

Walking up to our local water fall. Really got the kids back into the idea of being outside after winter. DS has been really getting into minecraft and often wants to be home in time for his 'time' after lunch on the computer. BUT lol...this day was the first of many which he was begging to stay here and throw just one more stone...or look at just one more tree. We came home with pockets full of rocks and sticks...wonderful. </div>

As I have often raved about our lovely little town a few of the local Mum's band together to create a camp. One Mum is just SOOOOOO full of love and excitement and she just has so many wonderful ideas and energy.<br />
Sadly DS caught tummy bug and has been out for the whole camp and a week afterwards...and Dave and I have managed to get it too...yuck!<br />
But he still had an amazing time.<br />

Both kids LOVE circus school. Their teacher is amazing and so unschooling in his ideas (though he doesn't know it). There is lots of movement and trust in these exercises. The last term they worked with fire which was amazing to see a 5 year old do. They worked on some yoga/trapeze work DD loved this as we got to be with the collage kids.<br />
This last term they have been working on a show to fund raise for a wonderful woman of our community who has had a stroke. The kids were clowns and after reading they decided to be Thing 1 and Thing 2.<br />

DS loves working in the rice with his letters and numbers. This term I've noticed a large change in his motor skills since playing minecraft. He can really hold his pencil well and form good letters. He's gone from putting a lot of his letters backwards to round the right way.<br />

Back on camp again...DS still not feeling great and a bit miffed that he got put in the "Babies group" where all the other kids his age were...once we got to the morning tea spot he asked for Dave who was with the bigger kids...then he just took off looking for him. We had a great time running through the bush. Both my kids found it very hard to be a part of a large slow moving group with lots of rules.<br />

There were times when the whole group of kids came together to do activities. One evening they had to make teams and build a mural out of natural things. DD's group was the Super Secret Survivors...humm...you can guess who was the ring leader there DD's fav books Enid Bylton and Bear Grills.<br />

Also on camp a birthday. So the idea was to build huts in the bush have party games and eat cake in your huts...I think the cake was left for the birds and the children had so much fun just building.</div>

For grade 1, 2 and most of 3 we have been working through Oak Meadow. I have loved it. We have also mixed in some Jolly Phonics and Grammar. <div>
I am not sure what came first but it doesn't matter we have looked at a change.</div>
<div>
DD had been working on an amazing story which she was very proud. She asked every adult to read it. It took some work but you could really understand what she was saying...her spelling a work in progress.</div>
<div>
Sadly one day she asked great Nana to read it. Nana was not impressed and handed the little hand made book back saying she couldn't read it because it was full of mistakes. ARGH!!!</div>
<div>
DD stopped writing.</div>
<div>
Then things started to get difficult. Or were they already getting a little bit challenging? There is repetition in Oak Meadow as there is in everything...but most kids don't like it. So DD was starting to put on the breaks.</div>
<div>
Hummm.</div>
<div>
Dave and I have been reading <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Free-Learn-Unleashing-Instinct-Self-Reliant/dp/0465025994">"Free to learn" by Peter Gray</a> and we have become a little bit more enlightened. While I have worked with total unschooling before and we did amazingly well...i became very burnt out with keeping on the go all the time.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And I think DD is a little burnt out too. We've been working pretty hard.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So </div>
<div>
Well I love Oak Meadow I think I could use the highlights and slowly put them out "Strew" them around and see how we go. So far its worked really well and its only been a few days.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We'll keep the basics of me reading aloud often, DD and DS reading to me (well at the moment DS is working on Jolly Phonics words which is very cool to watch and listen) </div>
<div>
We'll keep on with the writing but not about the stories suggested by Oak Meadow but things closer to us. We'll try different styles too. Poetry, articles, short stories, recipes etc.</div>
<div>
We'll keep on with the maths and times tables, the maths in the garden. </div>
<div>
But only 1 hour a day.</div>
<div>
I think ;-)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It will take a bit of adjustment but we might have a new more relaxed style. I was pretty wound up with my planning and OM but I just love it so much.</div>
<div>
But we can come back to it and its good to have a change every so often...thats why we are doing what we do...to work with out kids not against them.</div>
<div>

The storm we've had over the last few days has been really hard going. The noise at night is keeping us all awake. The rain and the wind together with some cold has made things miserable.<br />
Its school holidays here in NZ so we've been able to visit a few friends already.<br />
We've driven to Auckland and had a lovely catch up and plan to go back again and do the museum with these same friends.<br />
Yesterday we popped over to DS best friends place. WOW the wind was amazing! While sitting doing some bead work... (Lovely symmetry by DD) the shade sail was ripped from the roof.<br />
I handed the phone to DD reminding her how to use it if need be and the two Mothers don bike helmets for protection and battle the sail with the neighbours. We managed to wrestle it to the ground and go back to our bead work.<br />
Very cool. Making beads from paper.<br />
<br />
We came home for lunch. The the kids moved into playing minecraft. They have discovered how to use the TNT and doing the mining this way. Oh dear not sure how I feel about that.<br />
But they have moved back into creative mode so they can build their houses.<br />
<br />
We attempted to go to a junk workshop but the storm has made driving extremely bad...trees, roads, flooding. We are all very disappointed. So on the way back into our little town I popped into the Hammer Hardware to pick up some boxes. I had visions of using glue guns and tape creating something from them...but the kids have moved into building towns, skycity, and now shops.<br />

Many years ago when I found this property my grandfather and I walked up the back here where there was nothing but steep grass...and now we've got a few trees coming back...here is young DS jumping down the hill which Grandpa Jim and I sat on in the rain and I thought...yup I could live here.<br />
