Description of the Home Learning Environment:
the physical environment: private and shared study spaces, lighting, ventilation, display areas, storage, computer access, indoor/outdoor facilities
Leigh has her own desk and computer in her bedroom for private quiet study time, but often works at the dining room table or on the
verandah. All rooms are airy and well lit. Her bedroom has a large bookshelf with boxes for storage of her learning materials. There is a
wall for display of any art work or certificates she has earned. The back yard is a great place for her to read, conduct experiments, garden
and play.
the motivational environment: indoor/outdoor activities; hands on and real-life experiences; daily routines/tasks; variation of routines/tasks; individual/group
learning opportunities; interactive learning
We have a daily routine which suits Leigh. As she is a “morning person”, the most intensive learning is done for the first couple of hours,
leaving the fun, less taxing lessons for later in the day. There are breaks for snacks and meals. We try to fit in at least one excursion per
week. She meets with other home educated students for sport. To make her learning more interesting, there are lots of hands on activities,
especially with Maths and Science.
Social Opportunities:
peer & other interactions - friends, home education groups, sporting clubs/associations, church, classes, travel/excursions
Leigh belongs to a choir – she loves singing. One day she hopes to be in a band of her own as lead vocalist.
She goes to gymnastics at the local gym and has swimming lessons once a week.
The home school sport is a favourite time for her.
Leigh is still friends with the children she went to school with in the early years as they live in the neighbourhood. She has friends stay for
sleepovers.
We go on excursions to places that suit her current topics of study and regularly visit the Art Gallery. When there is a good play at the local
theatre, we make sure we don’t miss it. Leigh thinks she might like to join the amateur drama group, so we will approach them this year.
