Hello and a Happy New Year to you all!
As we head back towards the new term I thought a little reminder of this might be appreciated….
Tuesday afternoons with Georgia – Seeking Expressions of Interest
After a very successful run this term with both the Living Learning and Teen Homeschool groups, we have invited Georgia Adamson back for 2012. We are hoping to have sufficient interest to run two back-to-back classes on Tuesday afternoons at the Mid Mountains Community Centre between 1 and 3pm.
First up, a Drama class for 6-9yr olds using a range of games, role plays and activities to encourage creativity, cooperative “play”, and the confidence to speak in front of a group all in the friendly and supportive atmosphere Georgia ensures for each group.
And to follow, a Literature through Drama class specially designed for the 9-12yrs age group. Georgia has developed this dynamic and interactive approach to encourage investigation into literature. Participants play with a series of specific exercises that encourage them to develop their critical thinking, interpretation and comprehension of a text, to feel and move beyond it to a greater understanding and meaning.
Cost of classes will depend on the number of participants but we aim to set the fee at around $12 per class for an eight week term.
If you are interested in either of these proposed classes for your c hild please let us know ASAP.
For interest in the Drama class (6-9yrs) you can contact Kiri on contact@idyll.com.au and
for Literature through Drama (9-12yrs) email Jane on jane@hrlearning.com.au
