what does an unschooling day look like to us????
Outdoor play celebrating the first warm sunshine of the year and having been asked to do the task of cleaning some stones (not child labour honestly- we have just had building work done and the stones in our French drain were covered in dust/render and filth- I did my fair share - but not in a bathing suit!!!) so of course a wet job deteriorated into a water fight followed by running round the garden whilst wet thus becoming muddy..... Followed by a shower....
Colouring is a real favourite at the moment with all of them spending hours on various pieces. The current favourite medium is felt tip as it is all about instant gratification and dense colour-although the message about the ability to shade and add tone occasionally get through to the older ones.
FI loves her dancing and is all to happy to be shut quietly into a room with the CD player and her ballet shoes to give some little performances - occasionally I am allowed to view.
Some days we do things that look like conventional work but today we were too busy celebrating sun/ warmth/ season changes and everyone was happy!
