Activities:
Homeschool.
School is out! We shall begin again in January. We like to take a big break at Christmas so that we can enjoy the farm. This year we are ending ahead in school having started some of next year’s work. The ACE program is a system with constant small tests so we don’t have any end of year exams.
Sadly the economics in our country have gone from bad to worse. The children are therefore learning about inflation, shortages and long food queues. It’s an education in it’s own!
Homeschool Sport.
Paula and Murray had their end of year tennis tournament. Murray came third in his tournament and Paula won her tournament having done a small amount of training this term due to her extremely sore growing pains.
End of year vaulting show where they both kids came second in their classes.
Wonderful achievements for this year. The kids reached most of their goals. Now it’s time to take a well deserved break from sport.
Horses.
We had our second horse show. The children participated in arena eventing which consisted of dressage followed by a combination of cross country and show jumping.
Murray managed to get a third place in his class riding his pony Monty.
Kids had a third fun Christmas showjumping show. Wonderful way get into the Christmas spirit.
Christmas Gymkhana on the farm. Many games played among very competitive kids.
Adventures:
Farm Life.
We spent the month of December on the farm having fun with friends and family. Swimming in the dam was one of the activities.
Full moon dinners on the rock by the dam was one of the Christmas highlights.
Christmas day in Zimbabwe is always a bright sunny hot day where we sit in the garden and enjoy God’s creations. The farm received loads of rain in December so all the crops grew well.
