Term 3 Begins

The schools go back tomorrow for term 3 - thank goodness we won't have to put up with school kids crowding everywhere for a while. We have already been doing home-school for a week - our machines project you can read about below. Tomorrow we will get back into regular activities. Here are some of the things we will be covering this term:

• Tables, counting, calculations
• Money, measuring, time, 
• Fractions
• Shapes, angles, symmetry, coordinates
• Spelling, phonics, sight words, grammar
• Reading
• Poetry and report writing
• Human body, senses, organs, skeleton
• Nature study
• Gardening
• The human form in art
• Painting, drawing, printing, sculpture, collage
• The ancient Greeks
• The Olympics ancient and modern
• Places in Australia
• Computing - word, excel, power-point, internet
• Ball and movement skills
• Basketball, swimming
• Piano, music appreciation
• Cooking

We also have our regular weekly home education hangout and workshops. Perhaps the highlight this term will be our home-school camp with our friends to Dubbo; it's famous zoo, jail and flying doctor service. 

Keep an eye on the blog and make sure we really get all this done!
