Hey Blog! I hope you all had a merry Christmas. I received several books and book tokens, and spent quite a bit of the week reading.
Welcome to the end-of-year highlights review!
In this special post on Home Ed In A Shed, I will sum up my highlights of the year.
- Sailing: I learned to sail on a two-day course in summer this year, so I am now at stage one sailing. It is an exhilarating sport, and one that I will be trying to do stage two of next year.
- Drama performance: I took part in a production of “The Marvellous Mellow Melodrama of the Marriage of the Mislaid Minor”. It was the biggest production I have ever been in, with about 50 people as an audience, and was the best in terms of both craziness and fun!
- Hitting a Six: In the spring, I hit a six, the highest score you can get by a single hit in cricket (to “Hit a Six”, the ball needs to land outside the boundary) in a juniors match. I was the only one of my team in the season to hit a six, which I’m really quite pleased about.
- Caving: A few weeks before Christmas I went caving with my Scout troop. We explored Devonshire Cavern, above Matlock Bath in the Peak District. The cave was previously a lead mine, and you can still see evidence of the workings and relics of mining times.
- The SEM session: Written about in “Eco Week”, in late October.
So these are the five top “Highlights of my year”, and I hope 2022 will have even more to offer!
Happy New Year!
