Here’s our home schooling calendar sticker legend – many ideas inspired by family, friends and the Internet! Going to try and do the core curriculum ones on every weekday, with days off on weekends / holidays.

Sunshine!
Feeling this in the literal sense at least! It’s beautiful weather today 🙂
Today is our second day of Dan being off school due to the coronavirus outbreak – going to try to start each day with Sun Salutations!
Why not start your day with something that makes you feel good?
The Most Important Thing
When I was walking with Dan to school the other day, we were talking about him cycling home on his own and I said, “Be careful, keep looking around for cars and people – Observation – that’s the most important thing!”
Dan said, “No it’s not!” I said, “Yes it is – what’s more important than observation?”
He replied, “Love!”
Perfect
While staying with my family in the UK this summer, I was rather taken with this translation of the Upanishads by Shree Purohit Swami and W. B. Yeats which I found on my stepdad’s book shelf. Especially the first few lines:
That is perfect. This is perfect. Perfect comes from perfect. Take perfect from perfect, the remainder is perfect.
May peace and peace and peace be everywhere.
Sometimes I find it hard to see perfection in everything, but never hard to see in my son Dan!
What do you see as perfect?
Clothes Peg Bats
Organised an activity to make clothes peg bats for Halloween at Dan’s English playgroup today, think I enjoyed it as much as the kids did!
Chalk Town
Dan and I made a town out of chalk (from the 100 yen shop) outside our flat, kept him busy for hours!
Food
I made Dan some food from origami paper for his kitchen. Dan also likes bringing out this food when we eat and putting it on the table.
折り紙で團のキチンの食べ物を作りました。にんじん、大根、やき豆腐とねぎです。
Kitchen
I made a kitchen for Dan. We got the parts from Shimachu in Nakano. The main frames are cardboard boxes, with a real tap, shiny drawer knobs and a metal bowl for the sink. Dan calls it ‘SHIN’.
Homemade Toy Boxes
Made Dan some boxes to keep books and cars in. I got some sticky coloured paper from the 100 yen shop to decorate them.
