A very looonggggggggg holiday we had...yes...
But, still we not leaving or on holiday all the time. I think, we have been on unschooling time because kids had learn a lots...by unschooling. By no paper, no worksheet and no workbook. They had gain so much knowledge, which is especially by watching documentary. I think, if they lost in the forest, Insya Allah they should be able to survive.
We had actually start doing some experiment, worksheet and workbook since the start of ramadhan. I don't push too much as all my kids is fasting plus, it's a long fasting day. AS which I don't expect him to keep his fasting for many days had manage to fast except one day, alhamdulillah. Even though he saying that he hungry, but we don't want to break his fast even I ask him too. He wake up for suhur and eat a lots..I can say then normal. He even say that he need to eat a lots so he don't feel hungry! Subhana Allah. Bless Him! :)
Kids, did some science experiment with lots of science kits we had, They did rocket blast. Body bits, and lots of other experiment and write down in their experiment book. We also try to finish all islamic studies book before we moved to the next level especially for AS and S. S had finish her Iqra workbook. MS go on the next level but not S yet. All of them had been keeping up with their taraweeh prayer except AS and S miss couple of days when they fall as sleep.
Overall, we been starting on our homeschool now and again. We also started on our mindsprinting. I get all kids to do their test again and start from there. Also we try to finish whatever workbook we have as for English, Maths and Science. I get workbook for MS from car boot which is History and Geography. And he been doing so well with both of that. Just I need him to revise on UK curriculum on that both subject. Even though we don't formally learn a lots about particular topic, but by watching documentaries had gain him so much knowledge and enable him to understand easily. I had to say when it's come to science, Geography and History, I had to listen to them and I will be teach by them than me teaching them. So, I had to surrender on that and love unschooling method on all that three subject. They had gain knowledge far better then me had to teach them.
We don't do much activity even for islamic studies, but we did lots of talking. PS as usual on his Taaklimul Quran course from Al Huda every day , Monday to Friday. As Ad Duha now sell e boos, looks like it's a big opportunity for me to get more resource form there which I love it. Especially for PS as she can work independently. She is very good in work independently and doing assignment. Also after eid, I will get her a distance learning for English, Maths, Science and ICT. For KS3. Alhamdulillah, my business had enable me to provide more for kids homeschool. Especially for PS as she can work independently better and also with distance learning.
I can just concentrate with others and soon MS will start as well. Then this will allowed me to concentrate on the other two and give more time for them. The big two, I can just observe, alhamdulillah.
So, we will get back on homeschool routine soon, after eid. We will be busy as we had guest already make a plan for having eid with us. Also we will invited couple of close people, Isya Allah. Alhamdulillah, syukur tu Allah enable us to go though this fasting month easily even it's longer day. Especially for kids.
