A morning full of potential led to personal finance lessons with the kid, a hike and a secret hideout, bubble waffles with ice cream, and now pizza and kpop demon hunters. #Saturday #secularhomeschool #childledlearning

Some of our children have been busy designers!✂️🧵 From the first sketch to final detail, their focus, creativity and pride in their work is evident.
So much patience, resilience and imagination in one experience.

“Do not train children to learning by force and harshness, but direct them to it by what amuses their minds” -Plato

It’s amazing how long we have known this about education!

Our next mini topic is ‘Famous Footballers’. The children at the art table announced it, they have decided, so now this has to happen. #EduSkyPrimary #ChildLedLearning

#tinyNaturalist was inspired to create her own #marchMammalMadness bracket.

She's going to create mathematical models, roll the dice, and write up the scenarios.

She says "This is rated B for budgerigarnage."

*NURSERY* Our wee ones have shown an interest in climbing, balancing and jumping in the nursery garden. They have been using loose parts in role play making bridges and relating this to the Three Billy Goats Gruff story. 🐐 🐐 🐐 🌳 #childledlearning

We did something different when it came to school and I am still really glad we did. If you are curious about how it all went - I wrote a little book about it. Link in bio. #unschooling #homeschool #childledlearning #unschoolingfamily #adhdmom #mayagouliard

Making playdough with a pupil isn’t just about the playdough. It’s about patience, turn-taking, sensory comfort,& learning new skills. A simple mixture becomes a quiet moment where pupils grow, settle, & feel safe to explore. #UNCRCArticle29

P1-4 were able to lower themselves into the quarry using a rope.

Lots of nerves overcome, risk assessing, spotting learning opportunities, and discovering a variety of species.🌿

Great to see skills applied in a real context.

At KatieB Kids, every mark tells a story and every story matters.
This beautiful swirl wasn’t planned by an adult. It came from the heart of a child, for someone they love. And that’s magic!

These learners were using the sand to create walls and buildings. They had the idea of mixing water and sand to create cement. They used their mixture to lay the bricks just like a bricklayer. Later the cement was used to create a bridge and road #DunipaceSTEM #ChildLedLearning

Image of two-panel comic strip. The left panel shows a disappointed schoolteacher showing a paper w/ an "F" on it to a young girl and her parents. The right panel shows a distinguished professor type awarding a medal to a young woman while her elderly parents look on w/ pride. A single word bubble, shared by both the elementary teacher and the professor type, spans both panels, reading: "This is for spending all your time staring into space."
