Learning English

Since we have some English speaking friends, Boas and Fera are very interested in the English language. We picked up 'Engels met Raaf' again, a series of educational programmes on the Dutch 'Schooltv'. If you follow this link you can find the programme, including some free worksheets.

At the Bookdepository I bought some fun children's books that are suggested in the worksheets. My kids love them.
And we made another lapbook. (from www.homeschoolshare.com)

All this seems to work very encouraging, because often they ask for new words or try to say something in English.

And finally ...

... they flutter by!

Island

On a hot hot summer day, we and about 6 other he families, sailed to a lovely island. Thank you for your hospitality C. and family!!!!!

It was so good to play together, to talk together, to eat together and to just be together!

Zoo time

On the hottest day of June, we visited the zoo with Jos' parents and his youngest brother.
