My home schooling

I WANT TO tell you what home education is about.

I am Francois and I am eight years old. I like being home educated because you always have time to do your thing.

When I finish my school work I do not have to do extra homework.

I like reading books and playing with friends when I’m done with school.

My favourite books are fiction books. I’m now reading The World’s Worst Children by David Walliams and illustrated by Tony Ross. I read it every time I get the chance to.

I play with my friends and sometimes watch TV. I like to play with my toys. I do karate, guitar lessons and yoga.

My mom teaches me, and I do Afrikaans, English, story of the world (that is kind of like geography and history combined) and maths.

We are busy making a book about wild animals.

I also do painting, drawing and colouring in.

My favourite subject is maths. I don’t like lots of writing, but I like lots of drawing. We have this board game called brain box.

We have four boxes. One is about the world, another is about inventions, the third is about dinosaurs and the fourth is about art. The one I like the most is inventions. We also do nature at heart with a group of children and parents.

We learn about animals. It is really fun. Last time we were at Blaauwberg Nature Reserve.

We did a beach clean-up and learnt about the dangers of polluting the ocean.
