Activities for October 2023
A Message from the Deputy Director
Hello Everyone
Hope you are all enjoying the beautiful weather we have been having.
As we all know, in the home educating community learning is not linear and happens throughout the whole year. However, as the formal school Term comes to an end, there are many activities that have been arranged that could be part of your learning program or just as fun activities.
Below is a range of activities that have been planned from a free printable activity packs to events at your local library.
Whatever your family choses to do this Spring, I hope you have fun learning and playing together.
Warm regards
Jo Spencer
Acting Deputy Director
