The Right Path

We had a slightly backwards school this morning…the boys wanted to celebrate finding a tiny sword they thought they had lost, so I suggested doing the read-alouds first, then I administered a Maths test, then we had tenzees, moving on to a Maths lesson after that (with lots of complaints from the boys and a subsequent talking-to from me), then they did their reading for me, followed by Science, and finally their writing. It was a bit peculiar and didn’t flow quite as smoothly as our days usually do! The afternoon was taken up with some scrapping, some housework, and the cooking of a stew. Nick went to Head o’Wain in the afternoon to start laying stones to make a path to the chapel, as it is presently quite boggy, and will be getting worse as the winter approaches. He transported some big stones from Knollcombes, and got quite a bit done, apparently. The boys played indoors mostly, although Caleb built some sort of machine outside with chairs and benches, but tripped over a chair and scraped his elbow hard enough to draw blood, resulting in the termination of that particular game and the commencement of a DVD, in honour of the blood.
