Finishing off for the holidays

We've been busy wrapping up our sheduled home ed week. We'll now take a break for the rest of this week and next week, inshAllah.
The girls have both been using Education City, Ia has continued with her Quran reading lessons, and with reading Little Animal Ark books. Ia has also started a Nelson Thornes handwriting book, learning some writing joins. In maths she has begun multiplication and division (in the form of doubles and halves) and both girls have made a small start on a weather project. I should get them started on a weather journal, but I can just backfill the last couple of weeks with "wet and windy" in case they tire of keeping it too quickly. They have also both been doing lots of drawing and colouring in their doodle books, maashAllah.
The boys have begun long multiplication, which is not hard but you need to be careful not to make a small slip somewhere which goes on to mess up the whole answer. Can cause some frustration. They've also continued their ecology study, completing a quiz on food chains and food webs today. In Islamic studies we followed learning about the days of Duhl Hijjr with TJ's excellent Duas unit, maashAllah.
Other daily bits and bobs, reading, Quran etc and evening sports activities have also continued, alhamdulillah
