Written by Admin on 29th January 2019. Posted in News.

In Geography, some of our home-schooled children have been exploring a Land and Water Map of Arizona.

They have discussed that Arizona has deserts and these deserts are hot and dry. They are also sandy and rocky. Arizona has a large canyon which is a deep valley that has steep sides.

To help them understand the concept further, tutors have included a food tasting activity which included tasting different types of food eaten in Arizona such as the Pitaya/Pitahaya (the fruit of several different cactus species) and the Dragon Fruit.

Creating Mesmerising Marble Paintings in Art & Crafts!

Written by Admin on 25th January 2019. Posted in Art, News.

Our home-schooled children have been creating some wonderful abstract work of art focusing on Marble painting.

Marbling has been around for over 1000 years, with beautiful examples in ancient Turkish and Japanese texts.

It is known as Suminagashi in Japan.

Today there are artists who specialise in ancient marbling techniques.

This was a fun and easy marble activity that allowed the children to self-direct their learning, while enhancing hand-eye co-ordination.

The children got to create swirling patterns of pigment on water and captured them on paper.

In Science, our home-schooled children have been learning about different types of germs & bacteria.

Germs are tiny organisms. They are so small that they are not visible to the naked eye and can only be seen using a microscope.

Many germs are useful and keep our bodies healthy. Some types of germs are even used to make food like bread and cheese, or as medicine like antibiotics.
