National media museum

One of the things I love about home ed is the chance to seize opportunities.  Well yesterday we all felt a bit grumpy so decided to visit the national media museum in Bradford, something any family may do on a Saturday but the difference we have is the kids were really enthused by some of the stuff they saw, so while excited about it we will be doing activities based on things we saw on Saturday this week as part of our learning journey.

We will be making spinning pictures and flip books and linking this in to the faraday principle, we will also be making our own pinhole cameras and looking at how we create that image, and just because it is 50 years of doctor who we will be making a Darlek model. 

These are all things we probably wouldn't have time for if they were in school but because of home ed we can make it part of our learning week! Love it :-)
