Summary of what Kieron did this week (gifs on left).
We did pretty well on History and on Shakespeare.
Didn't get to Latin or Greek very seriously.
Next week I'd like to spend a bit more time on Art and Music.

Nature observation is enhanced by sketching what is seen: "To look at it is something, but its spirit will not come at once; you must look long enough, with a child's forgetfulness of time. Gazing for long, though, becomes tedious; you begin to think of the dinner-hour. But to draw it is to caress it; all the difference between staring at a kitten and stroking it; between watching a game and playing it. That is why it is worth learning to draw."[from this Parents' Review article]
