Hi nee1, we are also in the UK, just started thinking of homeschooling our little ones (3 and 1). We are considering Ambleside Online as our friends are recommending it. It is said to be a good Christian homeschooling curriculum and also free of charge.
I would second skylark. Washable wipes are great! We love our cloth wipes and there are so many choices. You can use organic bamboo velour/sherpa/soya terry - they look so beautiful and function miles better than disposable ones, let alone much kinder to the environment and your pocket!
Have tried the traditional Chinese curriculum this afternoon and felt disappointed actually - I am happy with the simplied version though. I took it for granted that the traditional Chinese curriculum will have either Cantonese or Taiwainese pronunciation but it's not! It's still exactly the same pronunciation as the people in mainland China use - but traditional Chinese is not used in mainland China! The feeling is very strange (when I hear the mainland style Chinese pronunciation associated with tradition Chinese characters). Can I suggest that Little Reader please take this into consideration and produce Traditional Chinese/Cantonese version please? My husband speaks Cantonese and uses traditional Chinese and I speak mandarine and uses simplied Chinese, we both felt the traditional Chinese/mainland Chinese pronunciation combination is a bit odd.
I would like also suggest that Little Reader could have British English version if that is at all possible.
I was brought up in Communist China and was taught the theory of 'evolution' since school and never doubted about that until just a few years ago. I read the Bible as a folklore when I was very young and thought it was just a collection of fairytales.
But at the age of 24 I heard about the creator for the first time. I got to know that there was a loving and almight God and he created the whole universe including men and I accepted this. My life was completely changed since then. I enjoy my daily life with God and I cannot deny His existence since He is so real to me!
Bible did not say God created the heavens and the earth in 6*24hours. The English word of 'day' was translated from hebrew word Yom. Yom can mean a 24-hour solar day but it can also mean a long period of time. Brown-Driver-Briggs' Hebrew definitions list definitions referring to long periods of time such as "year," "lifetime," and "time, period (general)."
I believe God himself is also a genius scientist - he has performed so many scientific wonders.
