Home Schooling Ideas

Hi all,


As a local mum, I thought we can help each other.


Here are some ideas Amanda (who works with me) and I have had so far for home schooling.


We think it is a great chance to teach kids some life skills, not just to keep their maths and English going.....


Firstly (and thank you to my Amanda in the office for realising this could help parents too)...


I am doing daily "Cupboard Cookery Classes" on Instagram (via Instagram TV) ? [www.instagram.com]


This could be used as part of your home schooling timetable - I will teach basic cookery skills along with easy recipes based on what you might have in ? you can even tell me what is in your cupboard and I will try to come up with a recipe.


Art:Bob Biddulph Art - Google "Draw with Bob" he is doing twice weekly challenges on Tuesdays and Thursdays.


Drama: Google "The Drama Geezers" they are doing classes (daily we think) - gets kids moving!


Language: Duo Lingo is amazing, and if you have any friends overseas, get them to do a daily FaceTime classes - so many of us are housebound - let's all help each other learn a new language!


Maths: Amanda has found an AMAZING maths tutor who can do online classes, she's brilliant - find Amy Chiu on Facebook if you are interested.


Art History or Cultural stuff: Do you have any friends who worked in museums now stuck at home? Would they do a daily FaceTime on art/culture?


English: Let's all read books again!


Project work: let your child choose a subject and do a project, get them a nice scrap book (off Amazon maybe)? to use to set it up.


Science: You can get fun stuff on Amazon


Workbooks for age bands: You can get on Amazon


Life skills: sewing, mortgages, banking and life in general. Also subscribing to "This Week" newspaper for children and going to use that as a basis for some study each week.


This is just a start, and we are both new to all this, so please add your top tips below!


Take care, all of us at Suzanne James Catering & Events

    • Hi There Today we lost a small black leather backpack in the vicinity of Dulwich picture gallery / Dulwich park / Eynella Road.    Morning of 28/3/24.    If found, please drop me a message and I can confirm details of contents and arrange to retrieve it.    Thanks. 
    • Hello!  I wanted to share The Dulwich Cake Co with you all. The Instagram link is below where you can follow along my baking journey, see all my cakes, and enquire / order via message. i make cakes for all occasions but particularly love custom children’s birthday cakes..: Next up is an Frozen themed cake for next weekend! It’s a relatively new page, but keen to find more local followers and get everyone trying my cakes! Birthday cakes, christenings, any celebrations, as well as mini Bento message cakes. Have a very Happy Easter! 🐣  https://www.instagram.com/thedulwichcakeco?igsh=MXZid29vYWIyOGtyZA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr  
    • Another great encounter with Aria. A leaking toilet was fixed quickly and cleanly and for a reasonable price. Aria’s always going to be our first call for plumbing work, and he knows a lot of good local people for their types of jobs.
    • There's a hint on what happened here but see nothing else https://www.cio.com/article/2069427/payment-processing-outages-at-uk-retailers-raise-reliability-issues-for-cashless-transactions.html
