Following his spell in Blood Brothers in the West End last year, musical star Marti Pellow is returning to play the Narrator in Willy Russell's hit show during its two-week run at the Lyceum Theatre.
"I am a big fan of Willy Russell, I think it's great writing," explains the Wet Wet Wet singer who has latterly also enjoyed a career in musical theatre. "Not everyone can afford to go and see me in the West End and it's great that I can go to certain cities where I have had a good time over the years. The touring production schedule for the time I was available takes me to Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and Sheffield, some of my favourite places."
As a solo artist, and with Wet Wet Wet, Pellow has had around 25 hits and three of the UK's biggest number one singles, including Love Is All Around. He has also had leading roles in the West End, on Broadway and on UK tours of major musicals such as Chicago, The Witches of Eastwick and Jekyll and Hyde.
Blood Brothers, which tells the moving story of twin boys separated at birth, only to be reunited by a twist of fate and a mother's haunting secret, is one of the most successful musicals of all time. It has accumulated no less than four awards for best musical in London and seven Tony Award nominations on Broadway while running in London's West End since the Eighties and touring the UK since 1995 with regular visits to Sheffield.
"Twenty-five years down the line it still pings and has the same resonance it had when it was written," says Pellow. "There are leassons to learn and that's down to good writing.
The memorable score includes A Bright New Day, Marilyn Monroe and the anthemic Tell Me It's Not True, while Pellow as the Narrator gets to sing Shoes Upn the Table and The Devil's Got Your Number. "Some of the dialogue is spoken and some is sung. The Narrator walks the audience through the story," explains the actor. "It depends how deep you want to go but he could be the conscience of the two women. I see it as a play with a couple of songs. It's a powerful piece and Willy Russell deals with some serious issues in the songs. Is life all about those who have and those who haven't and so is it all based on the class system? How can it get to the point when a woman is prepared to give away a child?"
It is a story firmly set in Liverpool but what accent does the Narrator have? "My background is obviously Glaswegian but we used to holiday in Ormskirk which I know is regarded as wooly-back territory but it was enough for me to get an ear for the accent, so I do a kind of hybrid Scouse-Glaswegian," he explains.
In December Pellow was in Sheffield performing The Sung Thoughts of The Journalist in Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of The Worlds - Alive on Stage! for The New Generation Tour which came to the Motorpoint Arena on its UK tour and then went on for European dates in the new year. "It's the first time I have been involved and the score was re-tweaked for this tour," he says. "I enjoy working and it's quite an eclectic piece and it was nice to work again with Kerry Ellis. We did Chess together at the Royal Albert Hall for PBS and I've known Jason Donocan for years and it was also good to work with new people like Kaiser Chiefs' Ricky Wilson."
After his run in Blood Brothers ends at the end of February Pellow is embarking on a five-week acoustic concert tour of concert halls and theatres. "It will just be me at a piano, singing and talking. It's based on the album that's coming out in March called Hope which is my take on songs from musical theatre.
"It's got stuff like Sondheim which will show how it has educated me as much as the audience and how far I have progressed in 10 years," he says .
"The concert is not like Wet Wet Wet touring to audiences of 10,000 a night, it's more about leaning into the audience in an intimate environment. It's a way of exploring and pushing myself as a singer," he continues.
And what about Wet Wet Wet, are there plans to tour with them again? We'll tour again but only when we feel it's right. It's got to be interesting for us and show where we are as songwriters. When we have new songs as well as the old ones. It will take time but that's up to us. We have a back catalogue that would choke a horse but that's not going to go away, so there's no hurry for us
Blood Brothers opens at the Lyceum on Monday and runs to January 26.

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Globus Medical stock: 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Globus Medical, Inc. is a medical device company focused on the design, development and commercialization of products that promote healing in patients with spine disorders. The Company's products fall into one of two categories: innovative fusion or disruptive technologies. Its innovative fusion products address a broad range of spinal fusion surgical procedures. Its disruptive technology products include minimally invasive surgical, motion preservation and advanced biomaterials technologies. Globus Medical, Inc. is based in Audubon, Pennsylvania. " (10/4/2017) 2. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "GMED's core spine organic growth has slowed though we expect some improvement in 2018 due to sales force enhancements. Its Emerging Technologies business should begin to add to growth in 2018 as well. But even accounting for this, we're concerned that consensus 2018 estimates may be too high. And we believe that GMED's earnings growth is going to be mostly driven by revenue growth." (9/26/2017) 3. Barclays PLC analysts commented, "ELGX's 2Q17 sales of $48.6M (-4.7%) came in ahead of our/consensus estimates of $47.6M; higher OUS sales offset lighter US results impacted by sales force attrition and lower AFX2 sales recapture. Ovation growth remained strong. Net loss was better on higher sales, better GM, and lower opex. ELGX lowered FY17 guidance by $9M at the midpoint to $185-190M on lower AFX2 sales recapture and sales force attrition. ELGX expects to begin PMA enrollment for Gen2 Nellix in late 2017/early 2018. We expect a slight uptick in 2H17 sales as AFX2 US softness continues, offset by Ovation US growth. We assume higher growth in '18 versus '17 on easier '17 comps from both AFX manufacturing issues and the narrowed Nellix IFU." (8/3/2017) 4. Aegis analysts commented, "GMED reported 4Q16 non-GAAP EPS and revenues of $0.31 and $151.6 million (6.3%/6.5% cc), respectively, with EPS 2 cents short of our and consensus estimates and revenues in line with preliminary reported revenues. Gross margins for the quarter were 74.3%, down from 75.4% in 4Q15 due to one-time accounting adjustments and acquisition-related costs. Despite increasing investments, management maintained strong non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margins of 37.7% though non-GAAP EPS fell short by 2 cents. During the call management emphasized that sales force issues are now behind them and, most importantly, that they expect to see a return to positive organic US growth in 1Q17. Management believes that this is the inflection point and is re-affirming FY2017 guidance of $625 million in revenues and $1.27 in EPS ' roughly 6.4% organic top-line growth. We believe US approval of its Excelsius GPS robot (expected by mid-year) and build out of its trauma business will provide upside to the business, where management is assuming a modest $10 million in emerging technologies contribution in 2017. We re-iterate our Buy rating and $31 TP." (2/28/2017) Who are some of Globus Medical's key competitors?

So you wanted affordable healthcare. Did you get it? Some are coming to the conclusion that it's best to stay poor and suck off the public teat. At least one gets substandard care through Medicaid.
Gwendolyn Harris is trying to do the right thing. She got a job as a healthcare worker. The only problem is she can't afford Obamacare.
She began to look for subsidized insurance under the Affordable Care Act, the federal law that has expanded coverage to millions of Americans. Harris said she has a chronic health condition that is going to require surgery soon, so she wanted to find something comprehensive.
What she found under Ohio's options was a plan with $405 monthly premium, a $2,000 deductible, and a maximum of $6,600 in out-of-pocket costs. The government subsidy brought the total premium down to $334 a month, but she said the discount is not enough to make it affordable.
"I can't afford the premium, let alone the deductible and the out of pocket," Harris said, adding that the plan has a $15 co-pay for prescription drugs and $55 for specialty care visits.
Cathy Levine, executive director at the Universal Health Care Action Network, said Harris's story spotlights holes in the system for expanding access to insurance.
"It's totally unfair that someone follows the rules, gets a job, gets off Medicaid, and now can't obtain coverage," Levine said. "Other states have found ways to design health plans without high deductibles. Ohio should become one of them.
Sorry to tell you this, but other states are having the same problems as Ohio.

School safety panel will be 'reasonable, not reactionary'
By Whitney Spicer and Blake Belden, Capital News Service 01/17/13
Members of Gov. Bob McDonnell's School and Campus Safety Task Force vowed Monday that their recommendations on keeping Virginia's schools safe would be based on fact and not emotion.
The task force – charged with evaluating the safety of schools and campuses throughout the state – was assembled by McDonnell in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting last month in Newtown, Conn.
"I thought in the wake of that terrible tragedy, it would be prudent to get all of our leading experts from all disciplines together to gather around a table or two, and talk about what can we do better," McDonnell said.
After a gunman shot and killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary, some called for immediate measures, such as banning assault weapons or placing armed personnel in schools.
However, Marla Decker, Virginia's secretary of public safety and a co-chair of the task force, said the group's recommendations would not be reactionary but rather based on data, analysis and evidence.
"We must take a reasonable, methodical approach to school and campus safety," Decker said. "This doesn't mean that the task force should not think creatively – it should. But we must take a logical approach to sending recommendations to the governor and to the General Assembly."
Some members of the task force are no strangers to tragedies such as the shooting in Connecticut. Task force member Allen Hill recalled the death of his daughter, Rachel, who at 18 was killed in the mass shooting at Virginia Tech in April 2007.
McDonnell noted that Virginians may have particular insight into what Newton residents are experiencing.
"Perhaps no state is more familiar with this kind of inexplicable tragedy than Virginia after April 16, 2007 at Virginia Tech," McDonnell said. "Many of you have been a part of that recovery."
When a deranged student killed 32 people at Tech, McDonnell was the state's attorney general and Tim Kaine was governor.
After that massacre, McDonnell said, he and Kaine worked together and "came out with specific advice, an executive order and changes to firearms and reporting protocol all within 30 days. So I'm confident that if all of you take a look at where we are right now, you also can come up with some initial recommendations in a short period of time."
McDonnell issued an executive order creating the task force on Dec. 20, just six days after the Sandy Hook shootings. He appointed the task force last week. It has 45 members, ranging from teachers, law enforcement officials and mental health practitioners to legislators, parents and students.
One of the task force members is state Delegate Margaret Ransone, R-Kinsale, a mother of two.
"I think that being a mom and wanting to make sure that our children are safe will absolutely play a part," she said. "I have an 11-year-old and a 7-year-old, both in public schools. But because of the oath I took, my decisions will be fully based on the information that we have."
The task force will have three main subgroups: education, mental health and public safety. These subgroups will work together to produce the most effective results, Decker said.
The task force plans to send its initial recommendations to the governor by Jan. 31. The first round of recommendations will focus on issues that require legislation or budget appropriations, Decker said.
The task force is scheduled to issue a final report by June.
McDonnell apologized to the panel for the tight deadlines. But he said time was of the essence.
"I think that we have a very important duty to make sure in our education system, K-12 or university, every person has the ability to work hard and gain access to the American dream and to do it in a safe and secure environment," McDonnell said.
"For the most part we've been able to do that in our state pretty well. But I think these events have called upon us, once again, to look at all aspects of school and campus safety and say, 'Is there something we can do better?'

All 7 game Reviews
Duck Hunt Reloaded 4-in-1
Rated 0.5 / 5 stars
I Can't seem to find the full version you are bragging about somewhere. If this is just a demo because you have not done the rest of the game yet, remove it and upload it to your dumping grounds. This could be a really cool game - just super lame that it's not completed yet.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Really fun, but is it a bug?
Great game! I had fun playing it, not too long, and not too short - a big thing many game devs get wrong on here. I really don't want to waste hours on NG, it's for quick fix games.
The positives:
*The level design (chamber/room/play area - whatever) was really good.
*The storytelling was good, a little lacking in substance, but you can expect more from a game as short as this.
*Like always the visuals of the game is impeccable. It really amazes me what some people can achieve with Flash.
*The sound/music was impeccable - well done!
And now for two issues I had with the game - and here is where I say
The mechanics of controlling two characters makes the game more challenging, and forces you think differently about levels, and how you should go about working together with yourself - I like that a lot.
It seems flawed to me though:
When you go into another chamber with only one character, the other automatically appears next to you in the other chamber, regardless of where it was in the previous chamber. This makes it possible to complete a chamber doable by only one character (only water or only light), and have the other character join you on the other side. It feels like I'm abusing some glitch or bug in the game whenever I'm doing it, and it seems like the author intended the levels to be done like that?
The other problem is the 2nd or 3rd last room, where you have to make the girl stand on a far ledge in the sunlight to cast a sliver of shadow only big enough to prevent Rob from frying in the sun. Once again it feels like I'm abusing the game - "hacking" a chamber - almost like it's bad level design.
Aside from those two things, I congratulate you on a fantastic game. I do not know what you do for a living, but I hope it's somewhere along the lines of this, otherwise it would be a waste of some serious talent.
Shift: Freedom!
Rated 2 / 5 stars
Almost unplayably laggy...
Looking forward to the better version, then you'll get a higher score.
Upgrade Complete 2
Rated 5 / 5 stars
If only...
Man I wish real life was this easy to get $10 000...
The best part of this game is the evolving from a total shit game, into something really amazing, by just upgrading the visuals.
This should be a lesson to all (including myself) submitters: Spend the extra time on the graphics. Look what it did to this game!
I have no Idea what you do for a living, and I really hope you get payed well by Armor. Your games are truly amazing.
Cool West
Rated 2 / 5 stars
Angry birds much?!
10 stars for an amazing game, coming from someone who knows how much effort goes into something like this. Well done for that!
-6 stars for a really unoriginal story and concept.
Big Evil Robots
Rated 5 / 5 stars
88000 Baby! I know if I try again I'll get all the coins...
Great game. But the music is very repetitive and gets annoying after a while.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Aaah! My mouse's batteries died in the middle of a streak!!!! Awesome game though. Love the song!

Sterling Silver Pocket Watches
Etsy SteamTeam Contest Entry
This started with what is possibly a clock housing. Challenged by the current Etsy SteamTeam's contest to make a steampunk piece with moving parts, I immediately got the idea of making a steampunk version of the child's toy that has a cardboard bottom with holes and several free-rolling balls which can be put in the holes by manipulating the toy. So I used some existing holes and added a wonderful cog and several other steamy watch parts to give a more challenging terrain for moving the balls over and into. There is a protective pocket watch lens cover that has the haze of age upon it and the 3 tiny balls are Sterling silver so that they show up clearly against all the lovely old brass. The "toy" is prong-set on a vintage brass filigree and the whole assemblage dangles from a 22" vintage gold-filled chain. Some vintage chain dangles off the toy for further steamy vibes. I am a trained, if somewhat playful, silversmith and have assembled this piece to last.
A J W Benson Silver Gents Key wound Half Hunters pocket Watch;
This watch belonged to my wife's grandfather. It dates to1889 and was from the JW Benson Ludgate factory in London. It is a key wound pocket watch made from 925 sterling silver; the watch sailed the world with "Spike" as he was apparently known, in his war years as a serving officer in the Navy.

A. Teams of 2 or 3 will be allowed. A racer who starts a leg of the event must finish that leg. e.g. If you start the bike leg you must finish the entire bike leg, you cannot do 1 bike lap, then have your teammate do the next bike lap, etc.Q. As a relay participants how do I transfer my race number to the next team member?
A. We recommend using a race number belt that you easily take off and hand to the next racer.Q. How long will it take to complete the Winter Challenge?
A. Last year's winning time was about 1 hour. The last participant finished in 3 hours. The average finishing time was around 1 hour and 40minutes.Q. How many aid stations and what will be provided?
A. Only 1 aid station will be on course, but racers will pass this aid station 6 times during the course of the event. Approximately every 2km you will pass the aid station. Water, sports drink, and energy food will be provided.Q. When will the Nordic Lodge open on race morning?
A. The lodge will be open by 7am, two hours before the start of the race. The lodge has bathrooms and a large waiting area.Q. Where do I park for the event? Will parking be a problem?
A. There is a large parking lot adjacent to the Nordic Lodge. Sometimes during the winter this lot can get packed, resulting in a short walk to the lodge (less than 200 yards). The 9am start time for the race means that the race will actually start before the rest of the mountain is open for business, so Winter Challenge racers should get prime parking. Nonetheless, it's never a bad idea to allow a few extra minutes in your morning plans for parking and transportation.Q. How long does it take to drive to Bogus Basin from Boise?
A. Without heavy traffic and assuming no ice is on the road, the drive takes approximately 30min if starting from the start of Bogus Basin Road. If you're leaving from Downtown Boise the total driving time in ideal conditions is about 40 minutes. Slow moving traffic or poor road conditions (ice/snow/etc) can make the drive much longer. We estimate that you should allow 45min to drive up to Bogus.

FINANCE/NEW ISSUES; Browning-Ferris Offers Convertible Debentures
Published: August 21, 1987
Browning-Ferris Industries, a Houston-based waste-management company, yesterday began offering $300 million of 6 1/4 percent convertible subordinated debentures due 2012 through underwriters led by Smith Barney, Harris Upham & Company.
Convertible issues are often described as a hybrid between stocks and bonds, paying interest but giving buyers the option of converting their holding into shares of company stock at a prestated price above the stock's current market value.
Convertibles are favored by issuers of debt because the conversion feature is an enhancement that allows the security to carry an interest rate that is lower than that of a comparable regular debt offering.
The Browning-Ferris issue is noncallable for three years. The debentures can be converted at any time into the company's common stock at $41 a share. Shares in Browning-Ferris closed yesterday at $33.25, up $1.125, on the New York Stock Exchange.

Over the last 15 months of writing this blog, life has changed dramatically for me and my little family. The reason for starting the blog was to document our home schooling journey, that then became a following of our dreams journey, to now settling down to living abroad and embracing a new culture. I have loved writing and I have loved having the blog, but in the last few weeks something has shifted. Originally it was a diary to inspire others, but I've got caught up in the whole stats and numbers thing, and wanting to be read. I think it stems from trying to get your blog "out there". There is so much competition and so much background work that needs to be done, I felt that I am always on the alert to make sure that a link up is made before the dead line, or the comments are submitted before closure. There have also been a few personal things going on in the background too that make me feel I need to take a break and concentrate on my young family, instead of where the next post is coming from. I hate being online, and yet if I don't reply or comment on various platforms, algorithms ensure your material doesn't appear…cruel but it is reality. So I feel this is all dictating our days that are about living in the moment, and being immersed in the outdoors and nature….all a little bit of a contradiction and it's been eating away at me. So, I guess, what I am trying to say is, I am in no way clear aboutwhere I go from here, so over the summer I will take a break, and see how it affects our daily life. In the meantime, I shall spend my daylight hours running after three very energetic children, exploring Sweden, and being company for my husband in the evenings!! After the Swedish summer break is up (which starts mid June and finishes at the end of August), I shall decide whether I either missed it, or it just wasn't for us 🙂 I will keep the https://www.instagram.com/mammasschool/ Instagram account going for now, that will tell the story of our journey in pictures, as I know a lot of my little lady's friends will like to see what she's up to..and hoping mine too 😉 xxxxxxxx
Category: Education (Page 1 of 9)
The snow has melted, (it's forecast again for tomorrow night, but we will ignore that!!), the first few spring flowers are peppering our lawn, (although the snowdrops are still hiding!), and the temperature has risen to +2 degrees…..springtime is coming! Or I am trying to pretend it is, and search out the signs that soon we may be able to leave home with gloves and hats in our bags, rather than permanently on our hands and heads! Being the start of March I felt it was about time I got my skates on and set about planting some seeds.
Back in the UK I have left a very small garden, but one that is literally bursting full of colour for three seasons of the year. We currently have a very unsuspecting tenant in there, unaware of what is about to happen, as before we left I had trimmed everything back for winter. When we moved in over 6 years ago, there was not one flowering plant in the garden, so I was fairly proud of my colourful riot of a jungle 🙂 In Sweden now, I have a huge garden and I need to be careful I don't go for the jam packed look again, or else I will not be able to manage it at all (I already need a goat for the grass!).
I plan to have similar things in the garden here. We need some fruit trees (we had apple and plum in the UK), we need to start a herb garden, we always grow some fruit and veg, and then I need flower colour to brighten our days. Some pips/seeds we have saved from what we have eaten, and others I bought in the shops. The wild seed mixes I am leaving until I can put them straight outside. Today we have planted chives, rosemary, tomatoes, french beans, peas, carrots, rhubarb, small poppies, large poppies, chillies, pumpkins, melons, peppers, pear, and ….there's one other but I can't remember what it is so that'll be a nice surprise when it appears! This will hopefully keep my costs down a bit when I head to the garden centre a bit later in spring, having started a lot from seed. I want to get some roses, blueberries, lavender, and a few more herbs from plant for starters. A few weeks ago we planted some of our apple pips, and we have got six sturdy looking seedlings sprouting, so I am crossing my fingers about those working out.
Springtime seed planting is a bit of a ritual in this home, very much centred around the children being able to let their inner mud loving gardener free!! Our little lady has been diligently planting seeds for years, and has enjoyed it. Our mad twinnies though have always planted one seed and pottered off in search of more wild adventures. However, today, they seem to have decided this was fun, and for the first time ever, they will be able to see the results of growing from seed (fingers crossed). They even helped to delicately transfer the apple seedling into larger pots. I was really pleased with the help and interest.
So with our springtime seeds planted, our house now resembles a garden centre until the weather warms up!! Lets hope they survive with three children dashing around…I wonder how many times they will be knocked over?! Each pot has more than one seed in too, so plenty of gardening to keep us busy in the next few months!
Today we have been given a couple of fantastic learning opportunities which just popped up! I realise the little people learn all the time, but today's opportunities taught the whole family, and were a couple of great chances. The children were playing in the garden, I was on my never ending weed removal challenge from the gravel path, and Dadda was trying to bash an old cupboard to pieces in the garage (definitely not Ikea, as at some points the cupboard seemed to be winning, not Dadda). He suddenly shouted, there's a big moth in here, so that we could all come and have a look. It was very still and the wings were closed together, however we did get a brief glimpse of them as it seemed to give a stretch, and they were beautiful, and definitely belonged to a butterfly! We were all taken aback a little, thinking this is most definitely not the time for butterflies, especially in a cold garage in the middle of a Swedish winter.
We carefully lifted it off the cupboard marked for demolition, and moved it onto a sledge for closer inspection. It was definitely alive but in shutdown mode. This is not something I thought butterflies did…hibernate! So, off we went indoors to research, and sure enough some butterflies do hibernate. Well, strictly scientifically speaking insects don't hibernate, but stay "dormant", but as most people think of hibernating as "sleeping through the winter" it is then often applied to moths and butterflies. We are sure this was a peacock butterfly. We didn't want to waken it up too much to make it think spring had come early, so once we had had a good close look, we returned it back to the cool of the garage to return to its slumber. From my reading up about it, it seems to be quite a rare thing to see a dormant adult butterfly, so we've been very lucky 🙂
In the afternoon we went for a little family hike, that, as usual for our hikes, we diverted, and took a little longer, but for good reasons 🙂 We discovered a medium sized uninhabited island that came very close to the coast of ours. We decided to divert off the footpath to get a closer look. You can see from the photos that this would be totally accessible via the transport of paddling in warmer weather. We have earmarked this as an adventure for a warm sunny day, carrying everything we need for a day, and go over and enjoy exploring it.
We then carried on with our hike. Further along the shore line trying to relocate the path, I discovered an ilium (hip) bone. This has led to much research since…is it a swan's? Is it another bird's? Or what and how has it got there. We think it belongs to one of the island's deer. Quite a young one too I think as it is quite small. You can see it compared to our little lady's pine cone. Another good find for us all to learn from, especially as it involved a lot of research from us grown ups to finally hit on the right type of animal/bird and then a species 🙂
If you read the blog regularly, you'll know I'm a big fan of outdoor, nature based learning 🙂 However, especially during winter, this needs to mixed up with some indoor activities as well. Plus, although I'm not a big fan of workbooks, I do use them for the Maths and English, to guide me along more than anything. Since Christmas, with so much exploring and other activities to do (sewing, microscopes, geocaching…all teaching valuable skills as well), it was clear that our home ed plans needed a little overhaul. Add into that we are all trying to learn a new language as well 🙂 I wanted to step up the twins number and letter work a little, and make it a bit more interactive, so I have been beavering away on my Pintrest research and dedicated 2 specific boards on my page (Mamma's School) to number learning, and letter and reading learning.
It was has become clear to me I am trying to stuff too much into each day as well. Each week, I want to follow the weeks nature curriculum, do a proper hike to explore (and do either geocaching, practising compass reading, minibeast hunting, use our spotter books etc.), some formal workbook work, learn Swedish, teach some tap dancing, try and keep the little lady's piano going at home (not having lessons now), as well as some more fun number and letter activities…..plus the craft they all love! My problem is I don't take this slowly and was trying to achieve this all everyday, and when it's mixed with a half day of school for the little lady, it becomes more of a headache for me and a task list, rather than something to look forward too! So, now the plan is not to achieve everything everyday, but a bit of everything over the course of the week.
The non formal workbook methods for our mini men needed an overhaul too. Using Pintrest I have found a lot of ideas. Today we implemented a few, and when I write home based home education blogs in the future, you will see some other ideas (or check out the Pintrest page 😉 !!!).
We used some pipe cleaners and beads to do our sums. I threaded 10 beads onto the pipe cleaner. The mini men then slid the beads up and down according to the numbers in the sum. This simple thing got their attention for a lot longer. They were able to fiddle and jiggle to work out the sum, and then were happier putting pen to paper, as less bored working it all out. For number recognition, we have some cards I made with numbers on and we lay them out. I shout a number, and as fast as they can they have to grab that number. In the dryer weather we like jumping onto chalk numbers drawn outside. We did a simple sorting task, making a car park graph out of cars, which they had to sort into the colour noted at the start of the car lane. My mini men are both struggling with recognising that each letter comes in two forms. So, to help with this, I have drawn out 2 sets of alphabet cards (small and capital), and we can play matching pairs memory game (my letter recognition is good, but my memory rubbish, so we are about even on this game!). They have both recently really got into asking me to write a sentence so they can copy, so I have taken this on board, to help them have a little bit more writing practice. So they are now copying a simple sentence under one I have written. The we do our reading together. We finished off with a game of I spy to help some more with their word and letter recognition. They both worked for a lot longer today than usual as it was generally more interactive and enjoyable.
Our little lady continues happily with her workbooks (based on a wild nature theme) in Maths and English, but her revamp comes into the Swedish learning with the boys. I am not a big fan of apps and TV (works for some fine, but our little lady gets a "spinny head" from screen time, and mini man no.2 can't take it or leave it once he's had it in the day, so it's a lot easier to just not have it!). We are generally too involved with either being outside or having unstructured play as well. However, having taught them some basic Swedish words, it was clear I needed help with this (I am learning too, so we need something to copy the pronunciation from). Our little lady is doing some great workbooks at school, but having had a little weep over Christmas about her inability to communicate (she's a bit of a babbler, so the fact she can't talk at 100mph is probably getting her down), I feel I needed to step up the learning game at home. I have found an app for my phone and downloaded it, and we are starting off with flashcards from certain categories. So, the first one we have done is animals. Unfortunately there isn't a lot of material out there, but I will keep plodding through. Then I am using you tube to find short programmes such as the alphabet, or numbers, or other categories, and sometimes just a Swedish kids TV programme (today they did nursery rhymes in Swedish which they can understand from knowing the English version). So, fingers crossed that with our learning, we will gradually incorporate more words into our daily living as well, thus making it all come a little bit more naturally….eventually!
As I introduce more ideas to my mini men to work through their Maths and English, I will post about them, so keep an eye if you think you'd like to use them 🙂
Happy New Year…or Gott Nytt År!! 2016 has seen a huge amount of change for our not so little family, and lots of adventures. It was about 2 weeks into January when we took the momentous decision to home educate our children. Our daughter was just starting her second term of junior school and we were to hear any day about the twins infant school places for September, when Dadda and I suddenly realised, we don't have to put our children through this just because that's what is conventional and what everyone else does! Our mini men were thriving in their forest school environment, learning well (and enjoying it), whereas our little lady was becoming a shadow of herself rather fast. When our 7 year old beautiful, full of life, school loving daughter moved to junior school, we had prepared ourselves for the increase in learning tempo. However, what we were not prepared for was watching our creative, nature loving daughter almost shrivel up with school and begin to dread each school day. She loved to write stories, paint, create, and make, but access to these pleasures was reduced. Well, virtually non-existent. She always worked hard and therefore did well at maths and English, and anything else that was put her way, but there was no place for her own talents, abilities, and interests to be nurtured. Then there are our 2 beautiful twin boys that are always going to be round pegs in square holes with the educational system in the UK, preferring to do most of their learning by any physical means available and preferably outdoors covered in mud! I wasn't exactly looking forward to having all three in school, but I'd be lying to say after nearly 5 years of looking after twins plus an older one full time (and our boys are fairly intense mainly due to the speed they move at, and my friends can testify they are rather good escape artists!), that I hadn't been looking forward to a bit of a breather! However, it turns out it was probably the best decision we have ever made as parents. Within weeks, our little lady was back to herself, enjoying playing outdoors, enjoying playing with her toys and using her imagination, doing arts and crafts whenever she felt like it, not exhausted for no apparent reason, her mysterious "spinny heads" had gone, and the icing on the cake….she got to do forest school too!!
Due to now home schooling and having no commitments on a day to day basis, we spent the next 7 months having some amazing adventures….with all 3 little people. We spent most of our time outdoors, in all weathers, and we were able to go with the flow much more, which again suited all three of them. There was no hurrying resistant twins up in the morning, there was no awkward hour between school and supper where all three raged war and were monkeys, life was a lot more settled in general.
Unfortunately, at the end of June we lost out Border Collie, Jack. He was 12.5 years old, and had gone through a lot in his little life…he was very accident prone and his insurance certainly proved its worth! He also went from being our baby, to adjusting to life with one baby, and then a pair of twins! He loved them dearly, followed them around, and generally found his purpose as the under table hoover. He was a gorgeous, very unique, and very loving dog, and I miss him a lot.
Then we made a huge life changing move, by uprooting our whole family to Sweden. It has been a long ambition of Dadda's and mine to live in Scandinavia, and especially having children made us want to do it all the more. We wanted our children to experience an upbringing based on the outdoors, an education with less emphasis on tests, a society that ensures children get to be children and a lot of emphasis on play, a culture where letting children take risks is normal, and where meatballs are in great supply 😉 !!!!
So, quite a few big changes in 2016, and I am going to leave you with some photos of our highlights 🙂
Now our severe windy storms of the past few days have passed, life in the outdoors can return back to a more normal routine, without fear of a tree falling on our heads. One of my priorities at the moment is refining the twins' cycling skills. We put them on 2 wheels back in November where they just took to it like ducks to water. However, like everything they do it was at 100 miles an hour, plus they had no stopping or starting skills, preferring to ride into a bush to provide the slowing down mechanism! Our island is quite small, and sometimes it seems a bit silly to be driving somewhere on it, like the beach right at the other end. However, it would take us a long time to walk there and back. So, if I can get them riding more safely before summertime, it could become a possibility to cycle there instead. My aim is for them to practise starting, braking to a stop, and not whizzing off zig zagging out of control everywhere! So today we headed down a wide track that we pretended was a road, and also practised staying on the correct (right) side of it….as you can see from the photos we still need to make progress in that area!! It was a good start though and I just need to get them out more often. I use big sister as a pace setter, who when told not to whizz off actually doesn't, and they are not allowed past her. It takes quite a bit though to summon up the energy to take both speedy little men out at the same time! We will get there though.
This afternoon we headed back to one of the best natural playgrounds I have ever come across, the main feature being our favourite tree that you can climb inside. The children spent a good while climbing the tree and the massive boulders, while the Kelly Kettle boiled away to make hot squash and we toasted some marshmallows. I love this place. The water is very calm and shows great promise for the warmer months in being a place where we can base ourselves on a rock all day, trying to catch mini beasts in nets, and wade around the shallow fjord. The children love scrambling over the rocks, and climbing the tree. They can climb up, across, and through the inside. It is amazing for imaginative play adventures too. Today, there was an extra play treat for them in the form of huge thick ice areas to break, pick up, throw, smash, and examine. Oh, and the views aren't too bad either 😉 You can't help but smile, relax, and let nature restore some energy.
Once we were back home I had promised our little lady I would help her get to grips with her new microscope that she had got for Christmas. We spent time learning (relearning for me!) how to obtain samples, make up sample slides, and then the best ways to view them. We looked at various thread types, synthetic and non synthetic, onions, hair, and a sample from the inside of her cheek. I think it is safe to say she is not only fascinated but hooked. She is now equipped enough, hopefully, with the skills to get this out and indulge whenever she fancies, just asking the odd question, and it is something she can learn from and enjoy….now I am off to learn about the sewing machine!!
Father Christmas seemed to have a bit of a sensible streak in him this year, as alongside the triple whoopee cushions, he also gave them a compass each 🙂 Well, someone's got to get us home from all these wooded walks safely, and with my track record, it's just luck every time I manage it!! So today, after spending 2 days working out which way each room, stair case, chair, table, and every other random item in the house was facing, I could stand it no longer, and needed to get the compasses out for a loooooonnnnnngggggg walk!! So we took Dadda up to the nature reserve at the bottom end of the island above us, as he's not been there before and we walked the trail for 90 minutes, faffing and fiddling with the compasses. At this point we are just doing basic "what direction are we walking in" questions, and getting familiar with them. However, I have started a new board on Pintrest collecting basic navigation ideas, teaching ideas, and orienteering activities for children. So, although I have supposedly learnt advanced navigation skills with our beloved armed forces, someone must have left the door open to that compartment of my brain, and the knowledge marched straight out!! Therefore, I am hoping that by teaching the children, not only will they learn a valuable skill, but my rusty navigation skills might be refreshed 🙂 In the meantime, I will leave you to enjoy some more gorgeous scenic photos of our afternoon hike, enjoy.
I've recently been working really hard on ideas boards on Pintrest. So, if you like what we do, or what we are about, hop over to Pintrest and have a look, under the people tab, at Mamma's School (or type Mamma's School into the search box). I'll leave a list below of my boards to see if one would take your fancy, and you either follow that board or Mamma's School, you will hear about when I add new ideas to them 🙂 I'll be adding to these boards a lot over the next few weeks, so keep your eyes on them!! Here's what boards we are compiling at the moment…..
30 days wild, outdoor crafts, nature play, home education, beach play, outdoors, forest school, Halloween, outdoor learning, nature quotes, VW, dinosaur home education, fairy craft, fairy home education, pirates home education, rock experiments, soil experiments, friction experiments, resistance experiments, gravity experiments, buoyancy experiments, magnet experiments, levers pulleys and gear experiments, stone age art, stone age study, iron age study, iron age art, roman art, exploring nature, science, Christmas activities and crafts, Sweden, Scandinavian Christmas, children sewing machine, beginners fishing, microscope activities, creative play, unplugged childhood, creative learning, beach classroom, garden classroom, and finally, play…….have a peak and enjoy some inspiration 🙂
Pretty dresses, antler hairband, flags flying, and tomte painted on the windows…it must be the last day of school before Christmas!! Thank goodness our little lady has an addiction to wearing pretty dresses (fairly impractical for tucking into ski trousers at play times, but she's stubborn and prefers to look like she's stuffed a spare tyre in there!!), as it seems everyone gets out the party frocks for the last day of term. I was unaware of this, and as you wear your own clothes every day, it's not something that is organised by the school, just one of the things that is traditional. We turned up to school and the flag was flying in the playground, and she had her Christmas concert to look forward to (singing in Swedish). She's done so well, and loved her half term there, despite still not really speaking Swedish. It's more a confidence thing I think, as she's been beavering away in her Swedish work books with her written work, and her teacher is very pleased. She's also singing non stop in Swedish, so maybe I should just get her to sing everything she wants to say! When I picked her up she explained that all the children and teachers in the school had run around the flag in a long snake, holding hands and singing (well apparently there was a lot of shrieking and laughing too), in what seems to be the thing that is done.
While our little lady was celebrating the end of term for the morning, the mini men and I set off to find a nature's playground on our walk, and it didn't take them long!!
There is a footpath running along the coast line, but this morning the boys decided that rock scrambling was the order of the morning, so off we went across the boulders, trying not to fall into the freezing fjord! We then got to some big smooth rocks that needed rolling around on…unfortunately I slipped and smashed my cheek and head on one, and apart from being dazed and feeling like my head wasn't attached to me I was fine. However, it did worry me, that we head to some fairly isolated places and if something happens to me, especially without big sister around, the boys are very vulnerable. So there then followed a panicked in depth lesson on how to make a Swedish emergency call on an iPhone! Probably not the best time or place in the freezing outdoors…maybe I'd better follow that lesson up! But it did make me think and worry about them, closely followed by the thought that Father Christmas wouldn't get to them if I was knocked out and they'd be heartbroken!
This afternoon it was time for a festive activity and we decided to make peppermint creams. I have a lovely (old) children's cookbook from when I was little, and we decided to use that recipe. The book has piqued our little lady's interest though with its colourful pages, so I am sure, after not being used for about 25 years, it will be dragged off the shelf again in the not to distant future. The little lady did all the measuring and mixing by herself today (usually I divide a batch into three, or multiply it by three so all three can mix, but first of all the batch was a bit fiddly to divide up with only one egg white used, and secondly I didn't want to be eating peppermint creams for the whole of 2017 with so much other sweet stuff around by tripling it!). All three were fantastic though. The little lady is really at home now in the kitchen weighing, measuring, and mixing, and I was pleased with the boys rolling and cutting shapes out…even better that none of the mix got gobbled up for a change.
So, all three are now getting very giddy in the run up to Christmas. How we are going to play it is not that much different from past years, as, with our Norwegian connections, we are used to a similar timetable of events. We try and mix English with Scandinavian and this year will be no different. We will head off to the island's church at 1100 on Christmas Eve, before returning for a feast mainly consisting of roast pork, large sausage, köttbullar (meatballs), and rice pudding . We will then open presents from each other and my side of the family (Norwegian connection). On Christmas Day, there will be stocking opening courtesy of Santa Claus, and then a large smörgåsbord of cold things (in the past, we've then had the traditional English roast Christmas meal as well, but to be honest this has put a little bit too much pressure on the digestive systems, as well as ensuring I live in the kitchen for 2 days!). The celebrations will continue in the afternoon with the unwrapping of presents from English family and friends 🙂 It's a really nice way of doing things and it really spreads the excitement out.
Today we decided to carry on with the festive movie, book, craft theme….in other words a rather tired Mamma was needing some festive movie induced peace 🙂
The story chosen for today was The Snowman….or it was until I realised it was The Snowman and the Snowdog book I was holding, so we did that as well!! We cosied up and sat on the sofa and had a good read of both books, before we headed out into a frozen garden to collect pebbles (they were more random shaped stones from our path in our case!) for our craft.
I had wonderful visions of rustic pebble snowmen adorning our home 🙂 I have three very different interpretations of my vision!! The main thing is they all had fun, and it was something they had not done for a long time. The last time, they painted pebbles from the beach, and they just made them colourful before liberally sprinkling glitter all over them. Today they actually formed a picture (of sorts).
After that it was time to snuggle up and watch the 2 mini movies, and feel cosy and festive again 🙂 I'm liking this idea of reading Christmas books, doing some craft related to it, and then get the fire burning together with hot drinks and sweet snacks, and watch a screened version of the tale :-)….I think they are too, poor screen deprived children that they are!!

Arsenal certainly made life difficult for themselves on Tuesday night at the Vitality Stadium against Eddie Howe's Bournemouth team. The Gunners were playing their second game in 3 days after only having a day to recover after their win over Crystal Palace on New Year's Day. Bournemouth on the other hand had last played on New Year's Eve so were certainly the more rested side and it certainly looked that way as the Cherries looked very solid in sticking 3 goals past Petr Cech to lead 3-0 with only 20 minutes remaining in the game.
Once again it was down to a man-of-the-match performance from French striker Olivier Giroud to rescue the Gunners. Giroud set-up goals for both his fellow forwards in Alexis Sanchez and Lucas Perez before guiding a perfect header into the corner of the Bournemouth goal to tie the match at 3-3 in the 92nd minute of the game. At 3-0 down the game looked long gone for Arsenal but their impressive comeback earned them a point which could end up being very important at the end of the season when all is said and done.
Giroud can do no wrong at the moment and is well worth his place in the side after a slow start to the campaign and is definitely complementing Alexis Sanchez very well. Arsene Wenger was happy with the spirit his team showed to come back but was frustrated with the schedule his club have faced and had this to say after the match as reported by the BBC:
"At the start we suffered from the quality of Bournemouth. One team had over three days to recover and on top of that we suffered at the back.
"It was a physical test but we came back into the game and we showed we are mentally strong. I am happy to play every day but only if our opponent has done the same."
So Arsenal move on to play Preston North End on the weekend in the FA Cup third round and Arsene Wenger will be hoping for a chance to give his key men a rest but knowing the FA Cup he is unlikely to get an easy ride at Deepdale as Preston will be looking to upset the Gunners.
