Anya's Lyrics - The Sun Is Shining

The Sun Is Shining

The Sun is shining upon your face

And the birds are singing like there's no mistake

Suddenly I see what's going on

With beauty the within

And all these little things time after time

And all these little memories time after time

 

The Sun is shining upon your face

And the birds are singing like there's no mistake

Suddenly I see what's going on

With beauty the within

And all these little things time after time

And all these little memories time after time

The Sun is shining, the Sun is shining

The Sun is shining, the Sun is shining

the Sun is shining upon your face

The Sun is shining, the sun is shining like there's no mistake

the Sun is shining upon your face

and the birds are singing like there's no mistake

Swimming - Keeping Fit

Owen attends swimming at Bromley Leisure centre every week.  Swimming works practically all of the muscles in the body (if you do a variety of strokes). Swimming can develop a swimmer's general strength, cardiovascular fitness and endurance.  Regular swimming builds endurance, muscle strength and cardio-vascular fitness.

Learning About Geometry

So much Maths can be explored through everyday living.  For example, our next door neighbours are planning an extension which will reduce the light in our home.  We have been exploring the implications of light resulting from the proposed the extension.  It is a good opportunity to look at angles and basic trigonometry.

Dulwich Library Manga Club

Owen attends the manga Club at Dulwich Library each week.  They take part in fun Manga related activities and learn how to draw Manga. Regular parties allow them to Dress up Cosplay style. It is a great opportunity for Owen to meet other young people who like to read and talk about Manga characters.

Learning Maths Through Exchange Rates & Foreign Currency

Since Unschooling I am always surprised at how much can be learnt by just getting out there and living.  We have travelled around Europe, Japan and recently returned from New York.  There is no need to have a Maths lesson on currency and exchange rates because the kids learn by using the local currency and understanding how it relates to our own currency.  In an Unschooling way we noticed how to use of Dollars led to all kinds of conversations about the Economy, Recession, Quantum Easing and many other topics.
