The Big Test!

Today is the big maths test. I fed F to sleep so we would have some peace, then I gave them the tests. I've printed out all 3 levels and told them it's all part of the same test, so hopefully this way I will be able to see whether they need to move up a level or stay where they are.

This afternoon we are going to do arts & crafts; making birthday cards for W. He's 2 tomorrow, so I'm off to his house with F and M. All the kids can play and eat cake, while N and I sit around eating and gossiping :-) I haven't seen her for a while and I'm really looking forward to it. I'm so glad she's moved closer!

I found an interesting website yesterday called Textkit, it's a resource for learning Latin (and Ancient Greek). It's not all singing and dancing stuff, but it is free, and I'm sure I can make some use of it. It has a user forum, so I am investigating the whole site.

I shall update later on the results of the test and with photos of the birthday cards.

Latin and Greek, wow, we're lucky if we get English done every day!
I love home made cards, we always make our own.

LOL I'm not doing Greek with them, I'm not that ambitious!! English has so many Latin words, roots and grammar rules I figured it made sense, even if only for one year.
