This is us: A ‘better late than never’ introduction

March 29, 2019

A little while ago our instagram account reached 1000 followers, and it made me think of that I’ve never really done a post where I/we introduce ourselves, on any of our social media. So I wrote a little post on instagram, and then went on to share a slightly revised version of it on our … More This is us: A ‘better late than never’ introduction

We had a lovely day out visiting #Walmer Castle and Gardens in Kent. It’s an English Heritage property, great for learning about #history from Henry VIII to World War II, via the Duke of Wellington and his boots! The gardens are beautiful and a great source of #sensory stimulation. #homeeducation #familydaysout #visitkent

Days Out in the South East: Walmer Castle & Gardens

March 1, 2019

Last week we visited Walmer castle and gardens, and it was a lovely afternoon out, made even better by the gloriously sunny weather. This was out first visit there, and I’m actually surprised I haven’t heard more about Walmer castle before, considering what an interesting as well as beautiful place this is to visit! A … More Days Out in the South East: Walmer Castle & Gardens

We went exploring on the estate around Scotney Castle in East Sussex. Even on a wet January day, it had plenty to offer, with Sussex Cattle and sheep grazing, woodland and parkland to explore, meaning many opportunities for hands-on and #multisensory #learning in the great #outdoors. Or just to relax and enjoy! #familydaysout

A January Walk on the Scotney Castle Estate

January 30, 2019

Just over a year ago, I wrote a post about Scotney Castle and how we’ve found it a lovely place to visit at all times of the year. And the other day, when we woke up to a relatively mild and mostly sunny day, I thought it could be nice to go back to Scotney, … More A January Walk on the Scotney Castle Estate

Why I Don’t Care about the Causes of Autism (…or what if I do?)

October 7, 2018

I’d like to write a post about why I don’t care about the causes of autism. But I fear that it would probably turn into a Sisyphean task. There are too many thoughts in my head, many of them unfinished, and so much I could say. The words may just come pouring out, jumbled, endlessly … More Why I Don’t Care about the Causes of Autism (…or what if I do?)

Baking Together: Cinnamon Rolls!

October 4, 2018

Did you know that the humble cinnamon roll has it’s own day of celebration in Sweden? Since almost 20 years now, Cinnamon Bun Day (’Kanelbullens Dag’) is celebrated on the 4 October every year, to honour the importance of this traditional fika favourite. The good news though is that you can happily carry on eating Cinnamon … More Baking Together: Cinnamon Rolls!

After seeing those beautiful pink birds in real life at Wingham, I though it could be … More Making it together: Flamingo Craft!

A-Z of Animals Much of the learning that we do is interest led, i.e. based around something which our boy is already showing an interest in. Last year we started an ‘A-Z of Animals’ study unit based on an old Sooty video with the same title, which has been a recurring favourite for years. We … More A Visit to Wingham Wildlife Park

Today is a beautiful, warm and sunny day, just like yesterday, and I’m sure there will still be a few more of these to come.
