Autumn 2015


Autumn is in the air and the homeschooling journey is more fun by incorporating some of the seasonal activities on the way. Since the enchanting season of autumn is here. So proud and happy to  dug the potatoes, beans, beet root and all other vegetables.The gardens, bees and fields are flowered and fruited . So thrilled to have this colourful season- cosy, chunky knits, logs, candle light...sometimes autumn can be bold and vibrant ; to see the  tones of autumn colour. The fall provides an ample opportunity to do various natural activities. You can do all sorts of learning .

Why the leaves changing colours and made some nature walks, took some nature guides from library to know more about the various British wild flowers, different trees and acorns.. Children plucked some wild flowers from the Chorlton water park and pressed it in their nature study book. As fall brings many birds flying over houses and children could notice signs of migration.

I am so happy, the smell in the air, cool night air, getting darker, leaves blowing across the street...The bounty from the plot has been enough to feed all God's creatures., to see squirrels and birds eating in our back garden.

Altar serving

As the part of ex parish priest funeral mass, Annu n  Munnu could serve as altar servers for the H Mass with bishops and priest. Still remember Fr Early who was a holy priest. Cherishing all the wonderful memories with him. Eternal rest grant upon them , may the perpetual light shine upon him. Amen.

Feast of St Therese of Child Jesus.

October 1st was the feast day of St Therese  and it was the name day of our sweetest little Theresu. She was so overjoyed and looking forward to do so many things. As usual we went to church and Annu made a special bracelet and a headband with a rose flower.


I didn't get time to bake a cake and we bought a chocolate cake which she always wanted though she didn't taste it.




Kids did some crosswords and a paperdali.

Alderley Edge Mine

Children had an opportunity to visit Alderley Edge Mines a few days ago, were mined from Bronze age until early 20 th Century.

At Alderley Edge , the main products were copper and lead with, later cobalt. It was an amazing experience to the kids to see the mines, different types of copper, how can you differentiate from the colour. A series of steps are normally required to obtain a finished product ; exploring,developing,extracting and processing. It was fun for the children to wear headlights, torches and clothings to explore the mine , deep, dark and slippery at times. Many Home Ed children were there accompanied with their parents.
