We used the car for the day as we had an appointment at Musical Theatre.
So we got up early to take dad to work.
Visited grandma at her work, as she had JP at her work to sign our declaration for homeschooling allowance.
We hung out at grandma's while we waited for time for appointment, then for dad to finish work.
Miss Personality got to catch up on her tv time, and mum got to catch up on her internet / You Tube tutorials.
Picked up dad from work, dropped off Miss Personality to her Musical Theatre lesson.
Heard a car go past with a squeak in the engine, which lead to us talking about the fan belt and what it does and why does it squeak.

Miss Personality is still loving this pebbles/ stones reward system.
She chose to use 5 pebbles so she could have 30min on ipad.
She then read some pages of her Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Last Straw, while she was getting dressed.
Miss Personality then followed the instruction on a YouTube tutorial, to make a dolphin.
Wasn't quiet going the way she wanted it to, so she changed to the flower blossom bracelet.
She chose to use another 5 pebbles to use the ipad for another 30min.
Miss Personality then followed the YouTube tutorial for the triple link chain bracelet.
She made a mistake the first time she tried it, then pulled it apart and had another go.
Usually she would just get frustrated and not want to do it again.
Watched the DVD - Aliens In The Attic, and Short Circuit.
Wednesday 21st May 2014
Watched DVD of Mamma Mia.
Did her personal jobs.
Watched DVD of Barbie and the Magic Pegasus.
Miss Personality followed the YouTube tutorial to make a monkey on the loom band.
Miss Personality read me facts of interest that she had found in the Guinness World Records 2004 book.
She chose to have baked beans for lunch, so opened her can herself, and poured them into an appropriate bowl to heat them in the microwave at the motor camp kitchen.
She chose to do 3 maths worksheets, to earn another pebble.
She used the montessori inspired tools that I had made a while ago, to help her complete the worksheets.
Worksheets covered, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, algebra, decimals, money, calendar, time and roman numerals.
She also did some colour by numbers pages, but to find out the colour she had to answer maths sums.
Thursday 22nd May 2014
Watched DVD of A Night at a Museum and Eragon.
Made another flower blossom bracelet with loom band after following YouTube tutorial.
Saw Miss Personality writing in her diary.
She asked about how many days we have been living in our bus.
So I showed her how it was recorded on the calendar.
She put the word on our fridge into alphabetical order.
She text dad at work, on my iphone.
She played some games on my computer.
Australian Explorers - History of miners and explorers of Australia.
A game of chess with the computer.
Space Quest - Had to spell the word given to pass through special doors into new areas.
Miss Personality likes mashed potato and gravy for lunch. The only catch is she has to peel the potatoes. So she peeled some potatoes.
Played Zoo Tycon. Have to build a zoo, making sure to build the right habitats for each group of animals. Also make sure that the animals are well looked after and the customers, so they keep coming back and visiting your zoo.
Friday 23rd May 2014
Drew a picture of mum using the mini whiteboard and whiteboard pens.
Watched a movie - Gremlins.
Read some pages of her Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Cabin Fever while getting dressed.
We started having a few arguments, so mum decided a walk along the beach was needed.
On the way to beach Miss Personality found a birds nest that had been blown out of a tree. She went on to tell me that birds use spit to make their nests.
While we were at the beach, she collected shells and some sand.
When she got home she used the sand, shells and some water to make some thing with.
She chose to use 5 pebbles to watch a DVD - Cinderella 3
She dried the dishes to earn a pebble.
Miss Personality seems to be struggling a bit today with regulating her frustrations.
Feels annoyed that she needs to earn pebbles to do certain things she wants to do.
After expressing her frustration and having some time to calm down.
She ended up choosing to do some workbooks to earn some more pebbles.
She did 6 pages of her science workbook. Which covered teeth, teeth care, food groups, how our bodies use food, parts of a plant and the the parts do. Got her to read to me what she had learnt and helped her with the words she found that were hard.
She did 3 pages of her maths workbook to earn another pebble.
She did 3 pages of her Grammar and Punctuation work book to earn another pebble.
She did 3 maths worksheets and used her montessori inspired tools to help her.
They covered division, multiplication, addition, subtraction, fractions, money, calendar, time, decimals, measurements, weights and volume.
Finished off with finding objects in a picture. A bit like the Where's Wally? books.
Now she is happily using her pebbles/ stones she has earned to have a swim in the camping grounds hot pools :)
