I remember Caleb turning to me in the middle of his creating saying 'this is so much fun mum'. This is the way it happens some days - no plan days where wonderful learning happens and I had little to do with it, except for knowing when to let go!!
I decided to have a 'project day' instead of our usual daily language arts and maths. Not having a clue what we would do, we started our readalouds which was particularly exciting as we had been to the library the day before. Sebastian had found the non-fiction aisle and discovered all these 'big cat' books which they had been pouring over all morning, so I wondered if they would pick something to do with big cats.
The book we read was 'Dory Story' - a boys adventure out in the deep sea encountering many fish which became part of the food chain and food web. This got the juices flowing and we made food chains for the next couple of hours, and as you can see they mostly involved leopards and jaguars and cheetahs. We plan to have more 'no plan' project days in the future!

Its such a key, to let go but sometimes (often times ) so difficult to do. I guess it takes trust in our children & in Him that if we step out of the way even a little they can flourish in their way. Well done!
Thanks Skye, your constant inspiration and encouragement, spoken and just lived - I am so thankful for x
