Our accidental home edding is becoming more long term. Bit of a long, tedious and stressful story involving moving to the Middle East, massive school waiting lists, job losses and lack of residency permit.
We moved here in May; taking DD1 out of reception and DD2 out of pre-school. I've always been interested in HE and was perfectly happy to have then out of school for a while and see how it worked out. As we'd just moved to a new place I decided we'd do very little formal stuff to start with and let them experience life here. However, there is no way they will have school places until
September which means that quite possibly there will be no school places for at least a year (we think that school will be the eventual aim - DD1 is missing it) and I'm beginning to think about what I want to achieve.
I've joned the HE group here. I don't think I have the guts to go for entirely autonomous home ed but neither am I organised enough for a full on timetable. I think DD1 will respond to a timetable of sorts. As such, I think we'll probably do some focussed literacy and numeracy stuff and let everything else take its course.
Would anybody be kind enough to share their favourite Internet based resources? English language books out here are pricey!
I'll start by suggesting the Oxford Owl website which has over 250 free ebooks
And the motion maths apps seem good too.
