Homeschool Burnout !

Sometimes, even with the best intentions, you need to stop and give yourself some space in your home educating routine.  This is a home educating idea I use occasionally when we are extremely busy, during holiday periods, or when we have homeschool burnout!

Home Educating in an Hour!!
I choose to cover 6 subjects for 10 minutes each - one quick hour of home educating, […]

Free Online Educational Game - Questionaut

Am sorry to just keep posting links, but I absolutely could not resist this one -
Questionaut is the most beautiful point and click adventure game. As you click through the story you’ll come across unique obstacles and quizzes that you’ll need to click about to get through.
Its on the BBC website under KS2 so I think […]

Free Hidden Picture Puzzles

Found a great site for free hidden picture puzzles - you know - the sort you have to hunt around the picture to find the hidden items! They have printable hidden pictures, or you can play online.
The site is HighlightsKids. The rest of the site is worth a look too - I liked their science […]

Make your own comic

Have you ever wanted to  make your own comic? Thats what we have been looking at this week (its a great way to encourage children to read and write!).
I found several ways to make online comics. The first is from  Makebeliefscomix. This one is aimed specifically at children, and you can print or email your […]

Engineering for kids

Engineering was kicked off by a link posted on Early Years HE Yahoo Group for this free bridge building game. We downloaded the 2006 version and  much discussion ensued!!! In the end, […]

Free Printable

My kids said I should post this link, as they have had so much fun with it.
PaperCars.net provides printouts of several types of cars (click on the cars button) that you can cut out and glue (we used tape!).  Some of them are trickier than others  - the VW Bus is a good one to […]

Animation and Filmaking

We have been stuck in this week (new puppy!) so the children have been making an animation. We made one some time ago by drawing a background picture (the sea) and taking still pictures of the drawn and cut out characters (fish) which we moved a fraction each time. When we strung the pictures together […]

Heart Exhibition

This site can take a little while to load (and has a strange navigation method), but the Wellcome Collection’s Heart Exhibition is a fascinating look at the human heart - from scientific details to how it has been presented in art.
An interesting tour for older children.
