SA Carnival of Homeschooling Blogs |

Share

Since June 2011 when the first carnival was launched, South African homeschooling bloggers have had the opportunity to join a uniquely South African Homeschooling Blogging community in the form of a Blog Carnival. You can also join by filling in this form.

What is a blog carnival?

Simply, it is a selection of fantastic blog posts around a similar subject all hosted on one person’s blog. Other SA homeschooling bloggers send the host blogger a link to one of their own blog posts that is relevant to the topic. The host blogger then compiles a blog post that acts like a virtual magazine where each link leads the reader to another fantastic article, tidbit, photo spread or feature centred around a common theme and subject. In our case, the subject is home schooling and the themes differ from Carnival to Carnival.

St Aidens ~ Build a Scarecrow Day ~ Grade K-4 Scarecrow Printables.

Build A Scarecrow Day 01 – July
Download the Scarecrow of Oz by Frank Baum

Have your children ever seen a scarecrow? Explain that when we
plant a garden, crows and other birds may come and eat the seeds,
corn, and vegetables that grow there. To keep the birds out of the
garden, people build scarecrows and place them in the garden to
scare crows and other birds away. The name “scarecrow” literally
means to scare the crow away.

St Aiden’s ~ South African Public Holidays – 1 May is Workers Day

Share

Many countries around the world commemorate the contribution made by workers to society on May Day (America doesn’t celebrate this holiday because of its communist origins). It has traditionally been a day to protest for better wages and working conditions. Given the role that trade unions played in the fight for freedom, it is unsurprising that South Africa commemorates this day.
