Just a quick blog whiel I am waiting for Dave to get back from washing the car.Today we are off to the Bird of Prey centre up in Kielder, Northumberland. It's a bit of a drive but we are meeting up with some other Home Ed families and being given a presentation and some of the older ones may even get to help fly some of the birds. One of our friends works up there with his son so we are getting special treatment for the day!! Our new car is up and runnng so hopefully it will be absolutely fine on the journey.

Yesterday was a quiet day, church in the morning then home and pottering about. Ben watched his Phonics videos... again and Eilidh did some reading. We decided that we would try and find out what her 'reading age 'is as she seems to just whizz through any book she picks up. There is a special test called a Burt test (or something) which calculates what age her reading level is. Well.... She came out at 10.11 years!!! (Not quite sure how they calculate the .11 but still!) What a superstar!!
