Yesterday we did some DIY jobs around the house I taught my eldest daughters how to repoint brickwork as some damaged pointing was causing damp on the kitchen wall seems a good idea to count this as a lesson in design and technology for my home schooled daughter.
I showed them how to do pointing then let them practice on the back hard wall as it had quite a few places that needed repointing my daughters really enjoyed themselves learning a new skill and spent two hours repointing bits on the garden wall with me then we did the brickwork that had needed doing.
Today my home schooled son is doing a design and technology. Food lesson with his daddy who is a chef. This will involve cooking a proper dinner and pudding of his choice from start to finish, he's chosen gammon with honey and mustard glaze, roast potatoes and green beans with home made sticky toffee pudding with sauce for six of us! Much more practical for real everyday life than cooking a basic recipe like cake for one person at school.
