Magical Oceans

Service Description

Young learners will dive into the magical world of oceanography in this creative multidisciplinary course. We will explore the oceans and all their secrets through a variety of engaging activities that are designed to keep students curious, engaged and creative. What are TBB multidisciplinary courses: TBB multidisciplinary courses were inspired by a personal homeschooling journey, in which we had the freedom to learn outside of the curriculum box, driven by child-led interest and curiosity. Think of them as extra-creative unit studies, where students will engage in many different areas of learning through a deep exploration of a single theme. Although our main focus in this course is oceanography, we will be covering fields such as sciences, arts, literature, geography, social sciences and more. What types of activities to expect: We will be learning through a variety of engaging activities, designed to create a well-rounded holistic learning experience for each student. These activities will include: Lessons and discussions Writing, narrations and creative journaling Arts and handwork projects Games and group activities Hands-on explorations and experiments Fiction and non-fiction literature Additional ideas for at home discovery And much more! What will we be covering: This is an ongoing course. Although topics do build on each other, students are welcome to join at any time, don’t worry, they will not be lost!
