This is a blog that i can use to keep a track of Jordy’s learning and development as a prelude to me seeing if homeschooling would be right for us.

Part of me thinks that at this age learning is all about play and discovery and a natural progression of understanding as he is exposed to the world and so isn’t it pointless to try to dictate what he learns or to control it?…. but then i think that i want ALL learning to be a natural progression and an extension of his interests and of him himself. So if that is what i want for him as he gets older then it’s only right that we start this journey now…. so i will use this blog as a way to organise myself and keep track of ideas that i get from other homeschoolers (cos i do like a good list! LOL!).

I am attracted to the Montessori method of ‘teaching’ by providing the environment and opportunities for discovery and learning so i intend to use that as a base for our HSing…. and then pick and choose the aspects of other styles like Steiner and natural learning or unschooling (don’t all carry on about the three styles being diametrically opposed! If i am drawn to aspects of all three then who’s to say my children won’t be! LOL!) 

Anyway, this is the blog of my son, Jordy, as he discovers the secrets of the universe and hopefully learns a little bit about himself along the way.
