I been up and down since last weeks. Less rest and put others first may be the right words to describe me at the moment. But, what else mum can do especially in foreign country rather than just keep it on.
Alhamdulillah children had been a great help. Can't complain about them, not a bit. It is been up and down as whenever we as a mum sick, we still wanted things to be in order plus we also facing our mood swing which can be scary at the time. As we still entertaining people, PS and MS had been helping around a lots in cleaning, washing up, doing the clothes, tidy up and etc. Nothing else make me feel better rather than see the kitchen nice and tidy after been entertaining guest. All done by MS and PS most of the time. Sometimes S and AS get involved. They been tidying around, hovering and etc. It's just on going work load and they had been successfully help me with out much moan and grin. Sometimes, none at all.
As for their help, in between me feel sick, tired, entertaining people, we manage to do lots of work. We keep on our work with mins printing as usual everyday. Reading quran everyday, read taaklim of course which is in other words reading hadith about the benefit of amal. We also did some art and craft where S had been making prate boat as part of her learning with her holiday books from Letts I bought from car boot sale. It's a book which contains learning for all subject according to UK curriculum which been present with fun and exciting project as well.
This is what we been learning in between a mess.
PS had been doing worksheet about prime factor, prime number, common multiple number from minds printing. Also keep on work on her CGP workbook. She also been doing her history and finish everything about medieval life and now she's making a lapbooking about it. On English, minds printing keep her on her comprehension and she been doing her English workbook from CGP also. She need to practise her story writing and I need to find a website to subscribe for her English. At the moment I can't find anything that suitable for her just yet.
MS had been doing her maths worksheet from mindsprinting which is multiplication. At the moment for him I just leave him to follow what he need to do on that. He didn't made much mistake and sometimes none at all on his worksheet. Only what he need to do is improve his time on calculation which he did a lots now. On English he been doing comprehension from mindsprinting and His Grammar, Vocabulary and punctuation workbook. He also started to do a project about Dinosaur on lapbooking. Also we been doing our quran reading everyday. He improve a lots, alhamdulillah. I moved him little at the time but make sure he grips them good before he moved to next one. This to ensure, insya Allah when he start reading his quran he should be able to read on it nicely.
S had been doing her holiday workbook from Letts. Also she been doing Maths worksheet from mindprinting. Her topic is about grouping an regrouping. She never learn about this before but alhamdulillah it's a good start and she did get on with it well. Also she had comprehension and vocabulary worksheet from the same site. She also did some learning in History. She did her workbook on islamic studies also about the life of the Prophet.
AS had done great with worksheet from mindsprinting. As on lesson 4 now, he can do lots of them without help which means he can read instruction his self. He did better on his own as well. If I give attention and he seems confuse, not sure and etc. But, once I turn my back, he just get on his own and done everything correctly in order. His reading improve a lots as well. He also learn how to put words together from phonic sound. As that he can read difficult words such as 'hard', 'very' and lots others. ( I will put up all the words he can now read. We been borrowing a books from library, some of them for probably year 2 reading. His reading really improve on his own without much of my help. Independent learning really makes it's way and show up the result.
It has been hard, difficult time for me and children. But, amazingly we do work together as a team and try hard to make up our learning. In the mist of stress and pressure, we go through it and win over the test. Alhamdulillah.
