As much as I am discovering what my childrens' interests are, my children are learning about me and my skills... skills they didn't know I had.
Before I was "mum". I was Gayle - a part-time graphic designer. I ran a small business handcrafting wedding invitations and I was contracted to design year books for high schools.
My son has started a new project putting together an e-magazine for kids.
Every week I teach my son a new skill in Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop... he just loves the idea that he is using "real-life" programs.
Children work on a project over an extended period of time â from a week or even up to a term.
They are engaged in solving a real-world problem or answering a complex question. They have an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills by creating a real product or presentation for a real audience.

As promised...
"If you can write out the recipe, we can bake the cake".

I finally found a way to motivate my 7 year old daughter to write!
She watched a kids YouTube video the other day on how to bake a cake.
"Mum, can we bake this cake?"
"If you write out the recipe for it, we can bake the cake," I tell her.
Over three days I guided her in writing out the recipe.
It was a great little project on procedural writing. We learnt about the structure of a recipe, cooking abbreviations, units of measurement, time, temperature, verbs and technical 'cooking' language.
What encourages your children to write? Please comment below, I would love to hear.

One of the biggest blessings about homeschooling is that I am getting to know my kids on a deeper level. I love hearing about their interests, what lights them up, what they wonder about and the questions they ask, what ideas they come up with and the experiences they want to have.
For my son (9yrs) it's all about playing the keyboard, coding a game, volcanoes and a succulent arrangement.
For my daughter (6yrs) it's all about pollinator gardens, making ice cream and scrapbooking a journal.
For my toddler (2yrs) it's all about cutting & gluing, water & bubbles and counting.
What are your children interested in?

Hello friends,
I have exciting news! I became registered for home schooling right on the last day of Term 3, 2021. It was such a sweet way to start school holidays.
The path that led me down to home schooling was an unexpected part of my life journey, but that's what makes this new chapter all the more interesting.
My name is Gayle and I am from New South Wales and I live in the Western Suburbs.
I'd love to hear from you!
- What is your story?
- Where abouts are you from?
- Why did you choose to home school?
- What grades are your children in?
- What are your challenges?
- Do you have any great tips?
I am reaching out to connect with other Australian parents, Home schoolers and Educators. I am building an online platform of quality teaching resources that are aligned with the Australian Curriculum in the hopes that if will help you in one way or another.
I think I speak for everyone when I say, we just want what is best for our children.
Please comment below, DM, email me anytime.
