Summer August 2018

At this moment in time it is the beginning of the summer holidays of 2018. The hot weather has finally broken YES!

WE are looking at arraning Blackberry Picking with the boys this week and I can not wait!

I am also getting my oldest ready for school fpr September 2018. 

We are still going to home school him and see how school goes. If 

we are finding that school dose not suit our way of life then we 

will home school full time.

The first thing that we are to do with him his to create a “memory 

box” that his will have to take into school. This is so that the my 

son and the other children can learn “social interaction skills”, 

“communicational skills” and hopefully be able to find people in 

their class that they may have things in common with. This will 

hopefully enable them to form friendships and also help the teach 

to asses what KS Level my son is at.

We are still working on getting him to write his own name and the 

alphabet, numbers are not really an issue at the moment so I will 

see where he his by January 2019.

I would love to hear of any project that your children may be up to 

over the summer holidays or have been given by their schools.

What are Key Skills (KS?)

The Key Skills Qualification is a frequently required component of 14-20 education in England, Northern Ireland and Wales. The aim of Key Skills is to encourage learners to develop and demonstrate their skills as well as learn how to select and apply skills in ways that are appropriate to their particular context.
