Blogger Steph of OneSixteenth has invented a Hogwarts Summer Correspondence School for her kids this summer:
We're going to do a trial run of the Hogwarts Summer Correspondence course. Just four weeks, I'm thinking, and if it goes well we'll do more next summer. I'm setting up lessons in Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures, Potions and a special class in Basic Charms and Spells for Muggle Witches. I was going to do Astronomy, but then I looked at the night sky near our house. There's so much light pollution that the lessons would have to consist of "Go outside, and peer at the sky until you can find a star, any star ..."
I will post the lessons when I'm finished with them. This will be fun :) I just have to decide on which "Magical Creature" we're going to do. If we buy Griffin a snake, then we'll make snakes our lesson.
Oooh, snakes. Rock on, Steph. What a great idea.
