Already the middle of the year for us

I can't believe it is June already! Were did the year go.  I was on course for 6 weeks but we did manage to homeschool.

Here are the other lapbooks we did so far this year.

The kids wanted a spy theme so we did a lapbook on that and on the FBI. They really loved being spies for a while.


We spoke about the 12 spies in the Bible and they were really impressed that there were spies in the Bible


The Bible verse they memorized


We continued to pray for the Nations and  learned about the countries they come from:

  • Akebu
  • Ica
  • Gusilay
  • Swafwa
  • Elkei
  • Melanau


Here are some of the extra books we worked on - Still doing "My Fathers World" and "Footprint in our land"  We did the story on Old Bob's Brown Bear"



We also did some "real" schooling and finished these books for the first two semesters.
The Grade 1 books

Grade 3 and 4 books





Other lapbooks we did was the one on the Solar system - I have posted a separate blog on that.


Another one was on Ocean life and the book "To the Rescue"  We went to KwaZulu Natal on holiday and homeschooled while we were there - only the fun stuff, the rest we did when we returned.

We visited Bloedrivier (both sides of the river and learned about the Zulus and the Voortrekkers)






This is the Octupus "Klippies" We had to fight to keep it in the ocean and not to bring it back home

Building Sandcastles is always part of homeschooling


The books we read and used
Our lapbooks (mostly with photos)
My daughter started reading and is very happy with herself for finishing her first book - the same book that was my first book to finish in school.  "Boet en Saartjie"






She is still changing her letters around and even when reading but we are working on this and hope this will soon pass.

My youngest son who is autistic is also doing great. These are the books he is working on.


 I through in a "Frozen lapbook" just to boost the kids and do something totally different.
