WOYWW

Another very quick post for WOYWW


One of the bonuses of working from home is that you can be spontaneous, so today I am taking my student out for his English lesson! We will go to a garden centre where he can help me choose plants then we are going to a local garden to do some activities in the sunshine then we will come home and after lunch he can help me plant my tubs! It's called 'Functional English'


If you want to see some more crafty desks, head over to the stamping ground for a quick nosey!


Quick before the sun goes in

  4. That should, of course, have been 'planting' and not 'panting'!!

  7. Sounds perfectly feasible to me and much more um.. can't think of the word but when the information goes in better because you are using it in the situation? Immersion? I hope he now knows the English for "slug"!

  11. Functional English sounds like another way of getting someone to do the donkey work. Good on yer Jacko!

    1. Thanks! I really have had a varied life so far and, according to my 11 year old, I'm only half way through it. Mind you he did say it's all downhill from here on in!

    Thanks for visiting my desk and I agree I am turning into my mum, glasses and all!
