Music, movement & painting in circles

July 26, 2010 by

Zoe and i commenced “the plan” today, working our way around Fran, Skye and Amelie going to a workshop with Tim Noble at their dance school. While they were out, we got the others working with a fairly intensive day looking at the art of Kandinsky with the help of a rather fab book from […]

Bitesize Education and Learning from Life

How to Home Educate.

September 4, 2009 by
