Popular Post NEWKID 26,352 Posted June 19, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Fin's homework was right up his street this month, the subject was the river Exe. So yesterday we travelled to the source of the Exe up at Simonsbath and followed the river down, back to Exeter. Picnic, pics and ready for his write up. This is the sort of home work that kids get interested in.. This is at the start of the Exe This is halfway down at Bickleigh, near Tiverton And this is emptying into the sea at Exmouth We've got a day out salmon fishing with a family friend lined up, plus Fins got his fishing pics from before so should be a decent bit of work from him...

pesky1972 4,949 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I love when mine get assignments about local & natural history stuff. I try to get out & about with them and getting them learning about things anyway, but it's a nice wee bonus when it's for part of their school education. They do get some sh!t too though. Thursday night (whilst getting ready for bed) my eldest announced she'd forgotten to let us know about one assignment.., she needed to make a (69cm long no less) Olympic torch out of bits of paper stuck together, that when you twisted it, displayed all the olympic colours.., and it was due in Friday morning!!! Me a the missus spent the next two hours arguing & attempting to fashion the fcuking thing through gritted teeth? Give me a river walk any day of the week. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
