Just say NO to forced schooling

I saw this poster on Travelling to Scotland and RenegadeParent today (it was originally posted on Soaring). Thanks to these bloggers and others (such as Dare to Know, Sometimes It's Peaceful and children are people) for all the useful information they have been posting about the recent Badman Report on the Elective Home Education Review.

Find out more about the DCSF attacks on home educating families and threats to the civil liberties of all families by visiting the UK Home Education Blogs listed in my sidebar (if there are any others that should be included please let me know) or Action for Home Education. There's also a Yahoo Badman Review Action Group and a Facebook group to Stop the UK Government Stigmatising Home Educators!

JUST SAY NO TO THE DCSF


*The inspiration for Conscious Friday comes from Se'Lah at Necessary Room.

A street party

On Saturday we went to a nearby street party. Sunnyboy was intrigued by the fact that we could walk in the road. We had the same conversation several times, about how the road was blocked off to cars that day for the party.







Sunnyboy was delighted to find a little bit of sand in the road to play with,





and jump in.



He also enjoyed the 'Kids Painting' area.
