Hi, there's so much to it!
We watched an intro to biology/evolution/natural selection video today on Khan academy.
Why? Cos i keep wibbling between paying some ££ and getting on with a GCSE, or simply finding everything on the syllabus, finding lessons free on the web & getting on with that - takes a lot more time planning. not my fave.
what is going on at the mo?
*codeacademy - this is good, and free. but again requires more time, as i have to complete each step myself in order to help the pupils.
*a single shard -this is quite good too, it goes vocab-chapter-comprehension quiz. Not the kids' most fun lesson. but good.
*anne of green gables -i have to prepare an extensive vocab list beforehand. sudden brainwave - google it! brb!

Monday 21 Jan '13 - explaining about gcses
today we did our devotion & some bible study.
then the vocab & read chap 1 of anne of green gables.
we made a chicken stew together.
f did chap 61 of maths tt5.
we spoke for about an hour about doing igcse biology using cloudlearn. i explained yet again that you are taught first, then tested. i explained how we would break it down into chunks....
then i showed R a gcse biology exam paper, she was able to answer some questions outright, using common sense & guesswork.
R made a chocolate cake.
good.

Carob bread
Tuesday, got the bus to GAP, there wasn't that many there, but there were two new families & a brand new baby.
I made the "Chocolate bread" recipe in my breadmaker, using carob powder instead of cocoa. It wasn't chocolatey but it was quite nice.
Great to be back at BSF tonight!

Back To School. After a slow start today we did our BSF, finished reading The Midnight Fox, did a chapter of maths & a page of english.
That'll do for today. Onward & upward!
Next book to begin is A Single Shard.
