About Us

We are Ferdy (aged 9), Harriet (Mum - age too old to reveal) and Gil (aged 6).

Ferdy started school in September 2017 and Gil in September 2020, and Ferdy and Gil are home educated on Fridays (flexischooling is a combination of formal schooling and home educating). This does not mean an extra weekend day (Ferdy!), but that we will be doing days out, some reading, some writing, some maths and generally things relating to what both boys are learning at school.

We will be keeping a record of our progress (and our mistakes) on this blog. Any comments/ideas gratefully received!

Quest

 Influenced by Dave Pilkey and Draw With Rob (apparently, he is actually called this), Ferdy and Gil have been creating lots and lots of comic books in the past few weeks. Villainous characters include the Mark Maker, Emperor Zero, Frogella and the Pee Monster, all of whom are heroically defeated by Captain Power and Captain Cutlery.

So this Friday, when we heard that Ferdy was learning about quest stories at school, we embarked on one of our own.

The task was to climb 1079ft to reach the Yeti before he went out hunting; we needed to prove to the world that he existed. On the way up, we encountered and fought the White Witch, the Ice Monster and the Snow Queen (yes, it was quite cold).

Aided by gold energy tablets (Werthers Originals), we traced his footsteps leading towards a lake managed to catch a glimpse of him battling with the Kracken before we ran down the other side of the mountain screaming. 

We later agreed that perhaps Captain Power was a more valorous hero than we had been, therefore a comic strip based on him may be more exciting.
