You’re going to LOVE Ambleside! I found TGATB to be a lot of what seemed to be just ‘busy work’ but the richness and beauty of Ambleside is second to none 😊 we’ve just finished our first set of exams (I love the Charlotte Mason view of exams as less of a test and more of a way to ‘check in’ and then re assess as to what needs more work/reminder to focus on what we didn’t get to going forward). We didn’t do exams in Year 1 as my mind was far too full of just trying to making it through the schedule…but I’ve had space this year and this term, and it was a really wonderful experience for both me and my daughter.
Wonderfully presented Rox. Well done on your year. xx
