No child will ‘fall behind’ because children are learning all the time, through everything they do. This cross-curricular programme of hands-on learning builds deep and wide knowledge and skills, as children learn by doing, making connections across subjects with each week’s theme giving structured development. Over the year they will benefit from a balanced and engaging programme that incorporates a full complement of subjects.
One activity a day means the programme is managable for you and them and gives plenty of space in your week for reading, playing and everyday life.
Learning skills through play
Playing, making, and doing is how children naturally learn vital skills. Using hands-on activities, this easy homeschool programme works for children age 5-ish to 10-ish, making it perfect for sibling groups to do together.
Throughout the year-round programme your children will develop:
Math skills including counting, arithmetic, time, fractions, 2D and 3D shapes, Venn diagrams, measuring length, measuring weight, and Pi.
Literacy skills including reading, writing, spelling, journalling, conversation skills, asking and answering questions, giving opinions, critical thinking, making information books, storytelling, and poetry.
Science including nature study through the seasons, space, kitchen science experiments, Northern Lights, weather, engineering, gardening, animal life cycles, pollination, oceans, and dinosaurs.
Arts and crafts including famous artists and art history lessons, sketching, collage, colour theory, print making, crafts for many festivals of the year, model making, process art adventures, mandalas, geometric art, and puppet making.
Social and wellbeing skills including team work, self-confidence, knowledge of world religions, multicultural awareness, diversity awareness, Black history, ancestry, gratitude, and goal setting.
And also imaginative play, fine motor skills, cooking skills, sensory play and forest school lessons.
How to use this homeschool programme
The programme gives you 52 weeks of thematic units.
Each unit covers five days, with one activity each day.
You can join the programme at any time of year and do every week in sequence or skip, extend or swap any day/week to suit your family.
Children are learning all the time and through everything they do. No-one will ‘fall behind’. The programme builds vital skills all through the year in multiple over-lapping and complementary ways. If you skip the math activity on day 47 your child will still turn into a competent forty-year-old one day! This is a programme to enjoy. You will see your children developing in all sorts of ways as they play, make, chat and do.
