Hey guys,  Happy Tuesday! I only have two more days of school left of this term after today! What am I going to do with myself for two whole weeks?! Also do you guys think I should keep blogging over the holidays? Like maybe once or twice a week? Let me know in the comments. Anyway, here's my day... 8:15  Yoga - choose one of Adrienne’s beginner yoga sessions.  Really try and listen and do the breathing etc. as she describes. Fall into the moment and enjoy the luxury of a peaceful, empty house! 9am  Maths 45 minutes ; Times tables revision 3, 4, 6 and 7 10am  Morning Tea 10:15  Art! The next lesson in the program 11:30  (ish) Journalling … write a short, reflective, informal paragraph about the origins of Yoga. Where does it originate? Why is it beneficial as a form of meditative exercise?  How do you personally feel while doing yoga? Do you find it relaxing? Painful? Boring? Fun? Is it something you think you would like to wind into your life a bit m

Movies and Poetry...

Hey everyone, happy Wednesday! It is cozy weather here today. I  hasn't  stopped raining in about 24 hours and shows no sign of stopping. It's that really heavy rain too that makes you feel like  you're  drowning. Personally I love the rain, its the best kind of weather for curling up in bed with a good book and cup of tea. And thats exactly what I did this  morning . Anyway here's my day... 9am  - Maths 1 hour 10am  - Morning Tea  10:15  - Continue working on bonus chapter. When you are finished, begin the proofreading process 11am -  Continue memorising I Love a Sunburnt Country 11:30  - Read over the new French task (3), and begin researching and working on planning for this special day. 12:15  - Lunch and break — Start watching The Theory of Everything (and finish it tonight) I have officially learnt the whole poem; My Country by  Dorothea  Mackellar. I actually enjoyed learning the poem because its something I  haven't  done

Lots of French and a bit of Art...

Image
Hey everyone, happy Tuesday!  Today was a French kind of day. Looking at lots of language and culture things at the moment. I just found out today that next term I will be presenting a speech to my family members including my grandparents. I will also have to prepare a typical French meal and decorate as if it was a  French  restaurant. I am really looking forward to this but am a bit nervous because I have a lot to learn before then! Here's my day... 9am  Maths 45 minutes ; times tables revision 4, 6, 12 10am  Morning Tea and break 10:15  - French revision and new words for the week. Next term there will be a presentation with a French speech to some family members, so continue to add a few more phrases. Things such as “Thank you for coming” and “This is my home”, or “Let us eat” (these phrases may sound mysterious, but it will make sense once the next French unit is started) 11am  - Art - next lesson in the program 12ish - Lunch and break 1pm  - Do so
