We wish. Instead we helped KelpieBlossom complete her homework by visiting Vaucluse House in the Eastern Suburbs today. Her current Homework Grid suggests she
"take a trip to Vaucluse House with your family.Talk about the different lifestyles of the convicts at the Barracks compared with the richer free settlers".The Homework Grid approach encourages learning to be integrated into everyday activities (ie involves mum and dad). We pointed out that this part of her homework was not compulsory, and that visiting an old house in the rain wasn't an "everyday activity", but KelpieBlossom takes all homework very seriously so we had no choice but to obey.
So here it is. KelpieBlossom pointed out that, unlike the convicts at Hyde Park Barracks, this family did not have to sleep in hammocks, did not have to work all day and didn't share their beds with rats. Padawan Learner had a lot of trouble finding the dishwasher.

I read or play board games with my hubby!
That would be the smart thing to do!
