?? missing days and friday fun

Well,yesterdays post seems to have vanished into the ether...which is annoying,as Id actually got a picture to display-albeit hopelessly huge,but still.Anyway,since I do not want to type the whole thing again the edited version is-Area and Volume and several other things...including sitting in a courtroom waiting to swear that I recognise my husbands signature and after all the time and paperwork...dear gods,the paperwork...I do in fact want to get divorced and am not just looking for a fun day out wasting the courts time.Yeah.
Today I made the exciting/disturbing discovery that we are nearly all the way through the ks3 maths syllabus...I am not kidding.We have one more module to do and we are done! Not to mention,we are 3/4 of the way through the english curriculum already,and over half way through the science!! (we would be further on in science,but we are currently looking at the plant module in much more detail) Even if we slow right down and only cover half the material we are currently covering per lesson,we will still be finished by midway through year 8! Now I understand why so many home ed kids take GCSEs early..theres not much else to do! It makes me wonder exactly what they do in schools if it takes them until the end of year 8 to get through this lot...either way,Im just glad we have time to explore things in more depth,continue to pursue side projects and prep for the GCSE years a little early. It means Peanut will have less pressure going into GCSES,if we start early we can spread them out rather than trying to cram too many subjects in to a very short space of time!
Anyhow,today was spent (as is normal Friday practice) on Manga high,mainly because I never like to start a new topic on a friday when it is no doubt going to be forgotten over the weekend,and also by Friday the Peanut brain is very easily distracted.We finished up pH as well today,and had a fairly chilled afternoon reading. Peanut has now fallen in love with Terry Pratchett *(bwahhaha,knew Id get her eventually!) and we are reading Wee Free Men and Witches Abroad aloud to each other. A good end to the week.
