goals for this year

As mentioned a couple of posts ago, I wanted us all to jot down the things we wanted to do/learn/achieve this year and the places we wanted to visit.

Trips we already have organised: Banbury Museum Jitterbug & Jive, Bodleian Library Printing Workshop, WWII Secrets and Spies trip, holiday to Florida

Places we would like to go this year but need to organise!: Cirencester Museum, Science Museum, Alton Towers, Cotswold Forest School day, Horse Trust Sanctuary, day trips to Southsea & Boscombe, camping holiday

Activities we would like to do / do more of this year: Make something from the sewing books N got for xmas, learn how to knit again and keep practicing, make something with the lino printing kit we have, use the waffle dust we have to marble a 3d item, get better at using the sewing machine, cross stitch, make a guinea pig run with Dad for the garden, make a bird box, weekly cooking, make more jewellery, use the french knitting kits we have, keep updating the timeline

It will be interesting to see how much of this list we have got through by the end of the year (I will be checking!!) Of course with home education I don't think you really can plan ahead too much. Its okay to have a rough idea of the things we would like to do, but trips are kindly organised by people that are simply great, you couldn't have planned that. Maybe we will watch something on the television or read about something that will inspire us into a new project, that is the part of it I love, being able to follow your interests at that precise moment and as children are growing all the time physically and emotionally, their interests change as well.
