Homeschooling Aotearoa Style: July 2013
http://homeschoolingaotearoa.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
A New Zealand homeschooling mother telling it how it is . Saturday, 6 July 2013. Chocolate Self Saucing Pudding. Today is our Church Midwinter Christmas Dinner. What is a midwinter Christmas Dinner? That might sound like a lot of hard work, and a lot of puddings. Typically one of these desserts are gone in one sitting with my family (once you go back for seconds when the kids are in bed) but why would I add that much stress to my day if I knew I couldn't do it. What was the verdict? 189; cup milk. Add th...

http://homeschoolingaotearoa.blogspot.com/2014/01/our-2014-learning-zone.html
A New Zealand homeschooling mother telling it how it is . Wednesday, 29 January 2014. Our 2014 Learning Zone. We have a calendar which I've gotten so slack at doing every day with the kids, but will hopefully get into a better routine now that Ladybug has started back at Montessori (today was her first day back) and all our extra curriculum start back next week. Also on our wall is our alphabet tree, this is for Ladybug and each week when she completes a letter in the LOTW curriculum. Currently our frogs...

http://homeschoolingaotearoa.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-boxcar-children.html
A New Zealand homeschooling mother telling it how it is . Monday, 3 February 2014. It's just a bunch of children that were running away from their Grandfather, they thought the Grandfather would be bad to him, they didn't know that he was actually a nice rich man. That's basically they ran away from their Grandfather and lived in a Boxcar and then a long time after that they meet their Grandfather and he's a nice loving Man, and that' the end of book one, the end.

Homeschooling Aotearoa Style: Waitangi Day
http://homeschoolingaotearoa.blogspot.com/2014/02/waitangi-day.html
A New Zealand homeschooling mother telling it how it is . Wednesday, 5 February 2014. Today is Waitangi Day in New Zealand. On February the 6th 1840 the Treaty of Waitangi was signed. The Treaty was between the Queen of England - Queen Victoria, and the Maori Chiefs. It was only signed by some 40 Chiefs on the 6th of February, and many many more signatures were obtained after this. There were also many Chiefs who did not sign the Treaty. Here's what Rocket Boy wrote about the Treaty. A Visit to the Museum.

Homeschooling Aotearoa Style: Letter of the Week - Letter B
http://homeschoolingaotearoa.blogspot.com/2014/01/letter-of-week-letter-b.html
A New Zealand homeschooling mother telling it how it is . Friday, 31 January 2014. Letter of the Week - Letter B. B is for Butterfly. If you ask Ladybug what letters we've covered she will say Butterfly, not B. But that is not the point of doing this with her, it's to have fun and maybe some of it will sink in while we're playing. Colour matching, also clipping spring loaded pegs onto cards are a great motor gross skill. And here's this weeks letter for Ladybugs alphabet book. It's supposed to be a b...

(made by Rocket Boy) and are now proudly hanging on our tree. Two weeks ...

http://homeschoolingaotearoa.blogspot.com/2014/02/prykrete-boat.html
A New Zealand homeschooling mother telling it how it is . Saturday, 22 February 2014. Rocket Boy LOVES watching MythBusters, always hanging out for a new episode, but will happily watch old ones over and over. A few weeks back we watched one of the Alaska specials where they tested a myth about a unsinkable aircraft carrier made out of Pykrete. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A slab of pykrete. Pykrete is made of 14 percent sawdust and 86 percent water by weight. Daddy is cutting up newspaper.
