"Imagine if schools actually helped kids identify their strengths by exploring their talents from a young age, and growing their skills over the 12 years instead of letting them all follow the same routine like sheep and leaving them confused in life after graduation."

Colourful fun at the Homeschooler's Market Day 💜💚🧡

We had such a blast during the this Saturday 🤗 A lot of preparation went into each table all week ...some got creative, other's raided their closets 🤭 and we had everything from silkworms to scarves!

The kids not only made their own moolah, but also learnt the importance of entrepreneurial skills 🙌🏽

Project-based learning (PBL) is an active learning method that involves students working together to solve real-world problems over an extended period of time.

Some key features are active engagement, collaboration, reflection AND it includes both formative and summative assessment measures 👌🏾

DID YOU KNOW? PBL helps kids:
✔ be more engaged & motivated 
✔ to develop problem-solving skills 
✔ learn how to collaborate & work in teams 
✔ develop a lifelong learning mindset 
✔ retain knowledge better by tying learning to practical experiences

It's the perfect way for children to work on authentic, complex problems that are relevant to their world! 🙌🏽

"Every child is an artist, until they are told they're not."
~ John Lennon

Double tap if you also love the wonderful combination of nature & art 🙌🏽🎨
It sparks creativity, provides a sensory experience, connects kids with nature, teaches them about the environment, develops fine motor skills, promotes emotional well-being, offers a fun science or math lesson and encourages eco-friendly practices 💚

Remember: There is no such things as "not an artist"!
