Following the disapplication of the old ICT curriculum, we set about considering strands for a contemporary engaging ‘Computing’ curriculum with a view towards Government proposals for 2014. The strands of the curriculum which we settled on are: Multimedia; Programming; Online; E-Safety; Data.

When you’ve just lost the final of arguably the most prestigious tournament in your sport, a final where the vast majority of the crowd were rooting for the other guy and cheered your every error, and where, moments after losing, a microphone is shoved under your nose, you could be forgiven for providing the waiting media with a choice quote or two. Even if it is Sue Barker doing the interview.What you probably wouldn’t be expected to say, however, is “it was an absolute pleasure and an honour to be part of this match”.Novak Djokovic’s reaction on losing the Wimbledon final to Andy Murray was a sportsmanlike demonstration of how to deal with failure with immediate dignity.

http://project-based-homeschooling.com/faq <--- the direction our classroom programme has been leaning more and more towards.
Project-based homeschooling combines your child’s genuine interests with long-term, deep, complex learning. Rather than teaching or providing curriculum, you mentor your child to help him learn how to direct and manage his own learning. It is the essential portion of your child’s learning life when you devote time to heping him do his own self-chosen, self-motivated work.You create a space dedicated to doing meaningful work, set up to both attract your child and allow him to work independently.You offer him an interesting variety of high-quality materials and tools.Your routine gives him big chunks of time dedicated to spending time in that space learning, making, and doing — with your support and attention.You become a trusted resource who will take him where he needs to go and help him meet his own goals.
