Love the flexibility (no school run, take holidays without hoards of people everywhere, do museum visits when it suits us etc, etc, etc!!!)

My kids are not really into sports.
Back in Oz, they had 1 sport each + 1 other activity (not a fan of over committing kids schedules)
My DS did karate and art lessons, and DD did netball and art.

Here we dont do a specific sport. Kids are happy to have around at beach, or run around yard, climb trees, ride bikes, build cubbies etc.
We do art by ourselves once a week, but sometimes we incorporate art into other lessons (for eg: kids made death masks, sugarcube pyramids,etc while studying Egypt)

For music, my son plays the guitar, and my daughter has an electric keyboard.
My son practises a few times a week, my daughter each day.
They use books + DVD's to help them)

We also incorporate religion into our week (we have studied Sikhism and Islam, and christianity this past 6 months), and kids also work on nature journals each week.

We also do maths, english, history, science, comprehension, journal writing, spelling, creative writing, geography + vocabulary.
