In this issue, we provide an update on our commitment to ongoing communication and consultation with the home schooling community.  A home schooling parent shares some "unschooling" approaches to science she uses with her children. We ask Clarence Bruinsma, Aboriginal Education Advisor, about learning maps and how these could be used to plan, reflect on and record learning in the home. Plus, some upcoming NAIDOC Week and Science Week events you might like to attend with your children.
