I am sometimes a writer for my home schooler and so I wrote and we compared the differences between where he lives and what growing up in the bible times was like.

Topic – Treasure Island http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2275.html

We went back to the book and researched what was in the Captains sea chest and discussed what My home schooler have in his and why

Then we found a picture online of some of the coins that may have been in the money bag.

Following up an interest from last week we studied Stonehenge. My Home Schooler was quite keen to discuss his ideas about how the stones may have gone up. I lead him though a study I had made last week. We were able to reflect on the fact that one of the ways they made Stonehenge was using a lever. He also wants to make a diorama of Stonehenge.

We finished school for the day slightly early today so do you know what My Home Schooler decided to do?

Pull out lots of weeds

and tidy up this area.  That was weedy!!!! and he relaid the black covers.  Well Done to my home schooler!!!
