Autumn Topics

With that in sight I'm thinking through our themes for this year. Our trip to Wellington has shaped that.

My first attempt at brainstorming a list of topics gave us 12 subjects and 13 skills - which may of may not be possible in a ten week term. I would like to deal with one idea at a time, not lots but there is no reason why we have to do a topic a week.

In terms of skills,

1. Art - Texture & Colour teaching around an autumn theme.
2. Progym - Theon's 6 attributes and identifying the authors emphasis.
3. Using Theon's 6 as an outline.
4. Diagramming Skills 1
5. Poetry
6. Art - Form
7. Swimming
8. Diagramming Skills 2
9. Logic - introduction.

In terms of Topics

1. Narnia - The Magicians Nephew,
2. The Flood, and Babel,
3. People of the Eastern World - Egypt
4. Historical overview of Science - timeline
5. Abraham
6. How Scientists think/Lab Skills
7. Swimming
8. Other Ancient peoples of the Fertile Crescent
