New School Year

School started again in September! Everyone has been working very hard, so we are doing well!
We are just waiting for one more document, and then we will be able to send off the papers for registration! All very exciting!
We feel really blessed, starting our third term as a reformed school! This term we are a lot more organised as well. In a way it is a bit of a shame, as last year we were more free to do things without planning, whereas now, everytime something comes up I have to worry about completing the curriculum... But it is nice to be able to plan ahead.

With one of the students I'm doing Classical education, also called Trivium. We do Latin, and a book called Omnibus. It is really amazing, even though the Omnibus is quite hard work as it involves a lot of reading. No problem if you read fast, but for the student it can be quite a job getting through all the reading assignments! But it's great! Tuesday we hope to go to London together, to go to the British Museum, to visit the Egyptian Wing. We are dealing with the second book of the Primary Reading part, which is Exodus. In this way it will bring things to life, also for myself. We hope to take Dr Masters book on the British museum with us...

We have lots of plans, things we can do, lessons we can have etc! The thing that is foremost in our minds is registration though. It will be good to be registered and to be able to advertise the school. It is very exciting not knowing who will join, and how God will use the school, as He has done already. It is so good to be able to study the Scriptures together, to start the day with reading, singing, praying... No worries about upsetting or offending people, no Names to be avoided... To have Christ at the centre of the entire day, in all we do, say read and study. To see the world in God's way, to look at everything around us with a Biblical worldview, to live in the Real World. To live, not just for this life and this life's qualifications, but to look at life with eternity in our minds and hearts.

It is also very encouraging seeing them work so hard! They really have done a lot of work those past weeks! I hope we can all keep it up...!

Please
Thank God for the lovely building we are in.
For the hard work of every one involved.
Pray for registration, that we will have all the paperwork involved.
Pray for more prayer support..!

I have no idea how you can do Omnibus in three 45 minute sessions. I have 12.75 hours per week for Omnibus and it isn't enough!!

Of course, we've added a secondary history curriculum to it to beef up the history (George Grant's Antiquity curriculum). That adds a bit of time.

Good luck with it! I'm having a blast!
