Minibeasts and canary eggs
In the morning we were drawing outside with chalk. It’s usually snakes and Alex often asks me to draw the head and help with the pattern. But today he drew a caterpillar – perhaps inspired by the one we saw at Brimbank earlier in the week. Ranger rodolfo hosted a Minibeasts discovery just for homeschoolers. […]
Wild Kratts resurgence, kickathon, regular activities and something new!
We have found some new Wild Kratts episodes on youtube (unfortunately Netflix only shows season 1 and in the US they are up to season 4!) So Alex has been watching back to back episodes on it, and most notably he’s singing the theme song! In one episode, Alex commented on the hair of one […]
A day in the city – music (almost), food, cars and more
I had tickets to go to the MSO’s second family classics day. Alex was very interested in the orchestra and was looking keenly at all of the instruments. He also enjoyed the music when it started, but unfortunately Daniel did not feel the same way and so we left. Fortunately Vio was with us in […]
Playing together, another zoo trip, plus our usual week
The kids have been playing together more recently and it’s been nice to watch. They mostly play with the same thing together, Alex gets toy envy very quickly if he sees Daniel using something. Lts of the time is spent on the trampoline, using play dough or playing trains, but in this case the kids […]

In the first week back of school term, it was very hot! So we took to the beach. It was nice, but the wind was a bit much and so we were there for less than an hour. We returned to one of our favourite places (Animal […]
Train tracks, playdough and Science Club
In October we started Science club. Since I am playing catch up with these posts I’ll just include all the detail here. I have been involved in the organising, I usually host one of the experiment stations. We did miss a week as we were sick with gastro and so needed to avoid social settings. We […]
I think we’ve got it
So, I think we’ve found our groove. this week has been especially enjoyable and has just flowed. I have not been reading about unschooling AT ALL for a few months, I am trying to rid my mind of expectations and just follow the interests of the boys. As a result of ‘fallen behind’ in the […]
Camping!
Alex has been counting down the weeks then days to camping for sooo long now. It’s finally here! We got all packed up and left much earlier than usual! We got to Healesville and set up camp. The Big4 there suits us perfectly – the kids have the jumping pillow, can play with other kids […]
