Words for the Teamwork song.

Get practicing



Links in a chain

Tracks for a train

They're always better together



Hot coco in a mug

A kiss and a hug

They're always better together



When Nothing seems to fit

And you just want to quit



Teamwork do it together

Teamwork friends forever



We're all for one and one for all

We'll help each other stand tall

With teamwork.



Stars in the sky

Hot weather in July

They're always better together



A hat on a head

Butter on bread

They're always better together



If things don't work out on your own

You know you're not alone



Teamwork do it together

Teamwork friends forever

We're all for one and one for all

We'll help each other stand tall - with teamwork (repeat)

Fed up of homeschooling...?

THIS might help keep you going. (Well it helps me focus on the fact the grass can be a dirty shade of grey over there too).

You might also be interested to read the prelim' report from an EO meeting in the Midlands on the 4th MARCH 2008. I haven't read it yet.

Finally; I found this wonderful essay written by the redounbtable Dorothy L Sayers on the LOST TOOLS OF EDUCATION. I read this years ago and then lost it-so I was glad to find it. You may find it useful or at any rate inspiring.

Updates and Reminders.

Next WED homeschool group is Books week. We are looking at Enid Blyton. There will be some activities based around solving mysteries and crimes. The children will get the chance to do some finger printing-bring baby-wipes!

There is a Mum's meeting at Ruth's house on Saturday 8th March at 8pm.
