Home School for Spring


With Christmas and the New Year Celebrations out of the way it is time for me, as well as the Boys, to get back to our routine.
This, for us, is usually based around our Home School.

I know through the different types and styles of Home Schooling that everyone does it differently but I always enjoy having at least topics to explore even if the Boys lead their way through them.
With this in mind I thought I would share with you some of the topics that we are covering this term!

Literacy and Numeracy
Literacy and Numeracy will continue as normal and I will be honest and say that, as of yet, we don’t have a main theme for literacy; like we had last term of Fairy Tales. Any suggestions here would be greatly appreciated!

Science
Our Science topic is going to be rather mixed this term. We are going to look at ourselves, our growth and being healthy. Hopefully within this we will crossover a few PSHE topics of Bullying, falling out with others as well as consent of others.

Art and Design
Our topic this term will be vehicles and moving mechanisms. So I am hoping there will be lots of craft and creation with these!

Animals
Every term we have chosen a topic that covers the care of animals. I am hoping we can, again, crossover with Science and look at growth of animals, especially with us entering Spring.

There will also be the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch which we thoroughly enjoyed taking part in last year and hopefully we will try and involve some of you in this topic too!

Geography and History
We are going to look at Rivers and Coastlines and hopefully when it warms up more visit some of the different types that we will find. (You can never go wrong with some seaside trips!)

So here are some of the topics that we will be covering and I know that I am already looking forward to this term.

For the other Home schoolers, what do you have planned this term?
