Young Hosannas: September 2015
http://young-hosannas.blogspot.com/2015_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, 19 September 2015. Motivated by a recent dental check up, we decided to do a Science unit on teeth. We found out the names of all our teeth and the different functions that they have. The children then made a collage of the different layers inside a tooth. To find out the effects that different drinks have upon our teeth we carried out an experiment in which the children put white duck eggs (to represent teeth) into glasses with the drinks.

Young Hosannas: August 2015
http://young-hosannas.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 25 August 2015. Over the last three weeks the children have been finding out about India. Armed with a pile of library books they have read all about the country. They located India on our large map of the world, noting it is in the continent of Asia and each made an Indian flag. Gathering information from the books they read, they compiled some simple sentences on facts they thought were important to know about India. We had an enjoyable afternoon out at Rusholme, an inner-city area of Manchest...

Young Hosannas: Bones - Human Body Project
http://young-hosannas.blogspot.com/2013/04/bones-human-body-project.html
Monday, 15 April 2013. Bones - Human Body Project. The children and I are thoroughly enjoying our current project on the Human Body. We have spent the last few days finding out about bones. We started by reading the Acorn book Our Bones. And making bone shaped fact books. They discovered that our bones join together to make a skeleton. Today we made some playdough, following this. Simple recipe, and created a skeleton. Book describes how our body without bones would be like a wobbly pile of goo! I would ...

Saturday, 13 September 2014. Our Week: On the farm, shapes, bridges, lighthouses and home education group. This week the children had the opportunity to each spend a night away on a farm in the Peak District with their Granny. Nathanael especially enjoyed his stay, spending time trying to restore an old tractor in the children's play area and searching for ancient artefacts at the site of an archaeological dig! Using the iMovie software on the iPad he made a short video about his time on the farm. On Fri...

Young Hosannas: Christmas Crafts - Nativity Sun Catcher
http://young-hosannas.blogspot.com/2013/12/christmas-crafts-day-four-nativity-sun.html
Wednesday, 4 December 2013. Christmas Crafts - Nativity Sun Catcher. Nathanael was keen to take down our autumn leaves. Sun catchers and replace them with something a bit more festive so we decided to make some nativity ones. I cut a silhouette out of black paper. And placed it onto sticky back plastic so that when then the children ripped different coloured tissue paper pieces they were able to stick directly onto the background. Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign;. To His name.". A Wise W...

Young Hosannas: Catch Up - Part Two
http://young-hosannas.blogspot.com/2015/08/catch-up-part-two.html
Tuesday, 11 August 2015. Catch Up - Part Two. In attempt to get my neglected blog up to date, this post is very picture heavy! Back in the spring we took a short break in the Lake District to tie in with a unit study we had being doing on the life and work of Beatrix Potter. My favourite place that we visited was Hill Top Farm, her Lake District home which was to become the setting for some of her later books. Inside the Castle the children could run about, dress up and play imaginary games. I took the o...

Monday, 23 February 2015. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The theme of this month's Christian Home Education meeting was World Book Day. For those who wanted to, we could choose one of our favourite books to review and dress up as the characters from that book. We chose Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and in preparation for the meeting we reread the book and completed our book review. The front cover of our book review. All dressed up and ready to go! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Days ou...
