Mum's Meeting

The meeting took place on Saturday 1st Sept at around 8pm.

Sophisticated nibbles and a fine line in elderflower water were available. A very nice Moses Basket was provided for the youngest guest, but when she felt like a snack, the food was placed there instead.

This was the first meeting for mums who home school. At another point it was suggested that dads as the Principles of the home schools would also be invited.

Running on ‘home schooling time’ it was initially discussed how the meetings were going to run.
A structure was decided upon:

We would begin with an introduction of selves including our names, why we home school, who we home school, and how our time since last meeting has been. This would give an opportunity for new members of the groups to be introduced and welcomed.

Spending the first half the meeting discussing a chosen theme.

Interim period of sharing resources, events that one knows about, activities that are doing with the children, coming up with themes for future meetings.

Second half of meeting, writing questions / things for discussion on a piece of paper and pulling out of pot to discuss.


Questions to be put on web site for others to contribute.

Initial discussion;

Talking about sign language:
Children had been learning the language over the last term or had been exposed via groups such as cubs and scouts.
A TV programme ‘Something Special’ was pointed out as a good programme available on BBC 1, and CBBEEBIES,
Web Site www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies

It was suggested that a placement or offer of voluntary work serving in the community for deaf people could be looked into.
Longwill School in Northfield is a special school for D/deaf children who might welcome classroom help.

Subject decided for next month: time management

Resources mentioned:
Games: Boggle

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I'm very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my blog to get additional info.
