April 30th-May 25th 2012.

Have had so much happen recently ive not had a chance to update this, have unfortunately and sadly lost both my Nan and my Granddad over the last few weeks. In between visits to the hospital and one funeral (one is next week) and J's appointments at various departments we have fitted in lots of learning. He has done lots of English work including meanings of sayings such as 'under the weather' etc, apostrophes and punctuation etc and also started a new reading book... 'Jack Nicklaus-My Story'......he is a famous golfer and it is his biography. Maths has been lots of success working on Conquer Maths including conquering fractions which has been his nemesis for years in mainstream school. Geography has been ongoing work about the Rainforest tho he has now completed this and also learning about the EDO tribe but I have an idea for another on going Geography idea which would combine his love of consoles games as they are all based in different countries...more on that when ive figured it out. Science has been more work about his 'Grow your own Potatoes'...they look like triffids lol, also learnt about various reptiles. History is still W.W.2 based....he had to think about being a child in an air raid shelter in London then write an imaginary diary about how it was, make a W.W.2 poster about 'Make do and Mend', he has written an imaginary evacuee letter home and also researched about occupied Singapore and written about how it would have been. He stayed a weekend at my parents and while there did cookery and made a Spanish Chicken and Chorizo dish. Lots of silver art award work like planning lessons, researching about an exhibition and then visiting that exhibition and writing a report on it etc. He also played a gold competition with Disabled Golf Society Wales and came 4th place on a count-back.He has played lots of golf besides which included learning on the course be it Maths and working out yardages or Science watching the birds of prey or the squirrels.
