What are we doing in Sept/ Oct 2007


ICT

Well so far, the pS2 has taken the backseat to Toon Town online but our days are still very much either watching tv (Looney Toons), going online (Toon Town), back to watching tv, maybe some PS2 (only when he's allowed to play GTA).Going out for HEing groups occasionally.


LANGUAGE STUDY

But we've managed to start on our Malay Language lesson, and is making some headway. Unfortunately the Mandarin lessons is not sticking.


MATHS

We're still having some occasional interesting discussion about numbers and Maths from Jnr. Nothing much happening here other than the occasional I Hate Maths pc game that we play together. So base on this, we're still covering add, sub, fraction. Pocket money counting is still going strong.

PE/ SOCIAL
Jnr found a new friend call Jack, so, we seems to be doing alot more outdoor activities together with Jack like swimming, doughnutting down the ski slope, play date and sleep over. Plus Jnr asked for skiing lessons, so he's registered to start this Saturday.Yesterday we went swimming, and today we're going to a indoor play area.

READING
We're still reading many different types of story books. Early this year, we're kinda started on human history type of books, did abit of the Story of the World, started Varjak Paw (still struggling to finish it, because one night, after Jnr fell asleep, I've actually finshed the story myself, so now, it just seems so boring to be repeating the story to him during bedtime!) We then moved onto Myths and Legends type of stories for a very short period. So far, only managed to complete The Arabian 1001 Nights. But last night, we've started on this book called 1000 Questions, which is proving to be not only factual, but also fascinating. Very science based topics, which is convienenient because we're covering science topics like Photosysthesis and catagories of animals, about the moon and stars, subjects that I've been meaning to cover.
