A short update only this week.
We are once more enrolled in the Upper Primary Timetable (KS2), and the Junior Science (KS3) with Briteschool. This is a live, online primary school that enables M to enjoy a normal school experience and interaction with other pupils without the sensory overload that so hindered his progress in mainstream. M was keen to start back, but I can tell it'll take him a week or two, to get back into his homework routine. We also started our Daily Literacy and Maths Skills Practice. Next week I will add handwriting to our daily tasks.
Due to set lesson times with Briteschool we are restricted to only being able to attend Home Ed groups on Mondays and Fridays during term times. We attended the Porthcawl Home Ed group for the first time this week. It seems a very nice group, but perhaps not quite as inclusive as the now defunct Rhos group we attended last year. Due to the journey time & cost, we won't be able to attend every week, but will instead aim for once a month for the time being. It keeps M in touch with some of the friends he made last year, and myself in touch with local goings on in the Home Ed Scene.
The Friday Porthcawl group is attached to the Wednesday tutorial group in Brigend which offers Arts Award (GSCE equiv) and some GCSE courses for older children. For the time being it is the social aspect we need to supplement our home programme. It was a lovely end to a hard working week for Marc as the weather was lovely. It runs in the afternoon and as it's located next to the beach I can see us making a day trip of it whenever the schedule coincides with fine weather.
