Plagiarism!

When I say plagiarism, of course I don't mean that Madi has been learning to copy/cheat this week, but that this post has been stolen/borrowed and slightly adapted from BFF's mum's blog...

This afternoon we went to BFF's house - she lives 5 motorway junctions away, which is quite a distance really, but not in home ed terms where we seem to travel far and wide to forge and maintain links. These two appear to have the type of friendship that allows them to slip instantly back into the firm friendship role whenever and wherever they meet up. Yesterday they spent the time constructing a dolls house and then additionally making dolls to live-inside.

Dolls to 'live' in the house

Additionally BFF and Madi spent time going through homework sheet(s) and listening to CDs for their upcoming singing weekend.

As on previous visits, they also enjoyed bike rides round to the park (Madi loves this freedom and I wish we lived somewhere I felt safer for her to travel further afield without me) and probably lots of other things that us parents will never know about, and it was only very reluctantly Madi left in time to get to her Rookie Lifeguard class, which she usually looks forward to.
