Happy Home Education

By this point in the story, Asha and Jeevan are well into their journey, but the excitement of escape is gone. Hunger, uncertainty, and fear set in. This week, the focus turns inward. How do we keep going when our energy is gone? How do we carry someone else’s fear as well as our own? These chapters explore emotional survival as much as physical, and what it means to hold onto hope when everything feels like too much.

This week marks a tense, emotional shift in Asha’s journey. She escapes on her own, makes a bold move to disguise herself, and arrives at the train station alone. But just when everything feels uncertain, Jeevan returns.

This week, Asha makes a life-changing decision to leave home in search of her father. Her journey begins with bravery, secrecy, and trust in her spirit bird. As readers, we ask "What would it take to leave everything behind for something you believe in?". We’ll look at how authors show courage through action, how characters make decisions under pressure, and what survival means, emotionally and ph

Welcome to our reading journey through Asha and the Spirit Bird by Jasbinder Bilan. This book follows a brave young girl, Asha, who lives in the shadow of the Himalayas and embarks on an incredible journey to find her father. Along the way, she must face fear, danger, and trust in something beyond what can be seen. This week, we begin by exploring Asha’s home, her connection to her family, and the mysterious presence of her spirit bird.

Welcome back to your Shakespeare drama journey! This week, you’ll start unlocking the meaning behind Shakespeare’s words. His language might seem tricky at first, but once you translate it into your own words, it becomes a powerful tool for performance. By the end of this week, you'll understand what Romeo is really saying in his famous balcony speech and feel more confident speaking Shakespeare aloud.

Welcome to Week One of your Shakespeare Drama Journey! Over the next 12 weeks, you’ll work toward performing two pieces: one Shakespeare monologue (from Romeo and Juliet) and one Shakespeare sonnet. You'll explore how to act, understand, and express Shakespeare’s language — and if you choose, you'll be ready to take the LAMDA Level 2 Shakespeare Exam by the end.

Have you ever felt like evangelism (talking about Jesus) is just for super-Christians with microphones, perfect answers, and capes that say “I survived Street Evangelism 2023”? If so, welcome! You’re in good company. This week, Andy Bannister shares something incredibly freeing: you don’t need to be fearless to share your faith, but you can learn how to be a little less afraid. Not with guilt, not with cheesy slogans, and definitely not by shouting “Just do it!” while some

A book study on Andy Bannister's book ' How to Talk About Jesus Without Looking Like an Idiot'.

This week, we’ll explore how factors and multiples lead to more powerful number tools: Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) and Highest Common Factor (HCF). We’ll also look at index notation for repeated multiplication and standard form, which helps us write very large and very small numbers simply.

This week, we’re exploring factors, multiples, and prime numbers, three key building blocks of number theory. You’ll learn how to find them, spot patterns, and see how they’re used in real life, from packaging in factories to creating secure online passwords.

This week you will be learning about integer, negative numbers, decimal numbers place value, multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000 and rounding numbers.

This week is a celebration of everything you’ve learned this term. You’ll revise ratio, fractions, percentages, graphs, data handling, and probability through fun online activities and short practice worksheets. At the end of the week, you’ll complete a short assessment covering all of these skills.

This week, we will use sample spaces to calculate probabilities, represent events with Venn diagrams and two-way tables, and apply the product rule for counting outcomes. We will solve problems involving multiple events and combinations.

This week covers frequency tables (grouped and ungrouped), representing grouped data with charts and diagrams, and constructing scatter graphs to describe relationships. Students also draw and interpret a line of best fit to make predictions.

This week, we move beyond straight lines to explore quadratic graphs, reciprocal graphs, and compare linear with non-linear graphs.

This week, we explore gradients, intercepts, and the famous equation y=mx+c. You’ll plot graphs with positive and negative gradients and link them to sequences.

This week, we begin our journey into coordinate geometry. We will explore plotting points in all four quadrants, drawing vertical and horizontal lines, plotting graphs from equations, and finding midpoints. These are the foundations for all graph work, from straight lines to more complex functions.

All the year 8 maths units in one place.

This week, we bring together everything we’ve learned about fractions and percentages. We’ll start by revising how to find percentages of amounts, then move on to increasing and decreasing by percentages, and finding percentage change. We’ll then tackle reverse percentages before finishing the unit with a final assessment project covering all six weeks.

This week, you’ll take all the fraction skills you’ve learned so far, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and apply them to real-world problems. Fractions are not just abstract maths; they’re used in cooking, sport, construction, and science every day. By the end of this week, you’ll be confident in spotting when and how fractions are useful outside the classroom.
