And some learning happened - he learnt that despite having run out of time, he would still have to build it himself. <br /><br />Bet all the other parents did most of the building - at least Sonshine's was all his own work, bar the tricky cutting bits :)Trashsparklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18015270855678769296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776380217462070463.post-90320853068838978942011-09-02T15:39:32.462+01:002011-09-02T15:39:32.462+01:00Inner Whispers - actually, my first attempt at nam...Inner Whispers - actually, my first attempt at naming this blogpost was Hestia gets all Blue Peter - so I know exactly what you mean!<br /><br />Looby - he's not got to the irregular French verbs yet. But that will come. And hopefully the space vehicles will stop.<br /><br />Linda - In Scotland we now have The Curriculum for Excellence. Where children are taught how to learn. Homework now mainly consists of a project to be completed over the course of a week. Sadly, Sonshine leaves his until the night before. Which I'm sure defeats the whole point about how he is supposed to be learning to learn. If you know what I mean. Oh, it's just experimental rubbish *sigh*<br /><br />Siobhan - I was VERY impressed m'self!<br /><br />Blighty - go back and look in the first place you asked them to look. That will be where it is. Boys are particularly blind when it comes to finding things. And don't go into the sceptic tank.

My children's previous school was a bugger for sending them home with these "projects", most of which just caused a great deal of wailing and gnashing of teeth (and that was just me).

But what is it with these school projects which must be done at home? They have dubious educational value and can be seen as simply another way to cause mothers to start banging their heads against walls given as we only learn about them at the 11th hour. Clearly we need to organise, mobilise, and agitate to ban them.
