Zzzz

There was an article in today's Straits Times "Start school later, sleep in more" where the journalist advocates a later starting time for schools to allow children to have sufficient sleep which is said to impact on one's learning and development.

Here at Mamegoma Homeschool (that's the name of our homeschool; more about that later) we don't have a problem of students having insufficient rest. Lessons start at 9am, or later if the students wake up late (mainly Pumpkin whom I keep nagging to be punctual for lessons). And if students are in a hurry to turn up for class, they sometimes come in their pyjamas (yes the nightmare that the rest of us sometimes have of turning up in school in pyjamas is a reality for the girls!).

Here's Tai Pi in science class still in her PJs, busy labeling the parts of a flower.
