This week has been packed with discovery, debate, and dazzling creativity — a true celebration of learning across every subject!
🕵️♂️ English: The Mystery Unfolds
The suspense is over — we’ve finally discovered who ‘him’ in the garage is in our reading of Skellig! As the characters begin to evolve, the children are diving deeper into the story’s themes and relationships. Alongside this, we’ve started learning about balanced arguments, preparing for our very first class debate next week: Homeschooling vs School. The discussions are already heating up with thoughtful points and passionate opinions!
➕➖ Maths: Mental Mastery
In maths, we’ve moved on to addition and subtraction, and the children were fascinated by the different mental strategies they could use. We explored how to choose the most efficient method depending on the numbers involved — a brilliant way to build confidence and flexibility in problem-solving.
🔬🌍🎨 Afternoon Adventures
Our afternoons have been a whirlwind of new topics and creative challenges:
- Science: We’ve begun investigating materials, exploring their properties and uses in everyday life.
- History: The children are delving into how the British Empire evolved, asking big questions and making connections across time.
- Geography: Our new topic on mountains is already sparking curiosity — from how they form to where they’re found.
- Art: We’ve started working on Islamic art, a detailed and intricate style that’s testing our patience and precision in the most rewarding way.
It’s been a week of big ideas, bold questions, and brilliant effort. We can’t wait to see where next week takes us — especially with our upcoming debate!
