In the heart of South Shields, there’s a vibrant community that thrives on curiosity and hands-on learning: The Kayaks Charity Home Education Group. This group is a testament to the power of child-led learning, where each monthly session is a new adventure, guided by the interests and enthusiasm of the children themselves.
June’s session was a science fayre extravaganza, where young minds delved into the wonders of biology by exploring blood components, experimented with chemistry through un-poppable bubbles and lava lamps, and grasped the basics of physics by examining molecules. It was a day of discovery, where the only limit was the children’s imagination.
July promises to be just as thrilling, with AB Heritage set to introduce the fascinating world of archaeology. The children will step into the shoes of archaeologists, uncovering artifacts buried in soil and unearthing frozen dinosaurs. It’s not just about the past; it’s about igniting a passion for discovery and learning that will last a lifetime.
The sessions are a collaborative effort, supported by parents and carers who believe in nurturing a whole-person approach to learning. It’s about more than just learning; it’s about growing together, life skills, and having a blast while getting their hands dirty.
For those eager to join this community of explorers, a sign-up sheet is available a month in advance on our Facebook page. It’s an open invitation to be part of a group that celebrates learning in its most joyful and engaging form. As all members have SEND, we keep the group size small.
The Kayaks Charity Home Education Group isn’t just a monthly meeting; it’s a movement towards a future where education is driven by the innate curiosity of children, supported by the community, and celebrated with every discovery made. Join them, and be part of the adventure.
