Skill Sharing Update

from Miranda...

Our first term of skill sharing was a great success, with members of ATHENS volunteering their time and knowledge in areas such as painting, poetry, cooking, felting and tie dying.  We will continue the theme of skill sharing in term two, with lots more exciting sessions planned, such as art and crafts, cooking and theatre and circus skills.  Our skill sharing sessions will culminate in a ATHENS family event, with a shared afternoon tea, display and performance.

Our 2014 Beach Camp is also happening in term two, at Mission Beach this year.  We have had Beach Camps at Rollingstone and Wonga Beach in the past.  See the Camps page for more info.

 

 

Tie Dye for last day of Term 1 was a huge hit!

Last Year

There were some fun times at ATHENS in 2013.  Here are some great photos from Miranda...

The boys in particular LOVED visiting Nutrigold Worm Farm.

Scary stuff happening in Winfield Park, Malanda.

Our long-running camp at Tinaroo - family time!

H.E.M.S. in May

Sunday 25th May

10am-2pm

Atherton

(email for address and directions)

HEMS = Home Ed Mums Support.

At HEMS we discuss upcoming ATHENS meetings - specifics or direction/ideas, as well as homeschooling in general, registration process, resources, parenting solutions...  It's also a time to just relax and enjoy each other's company with little distraction.

At a HEMS event we can do anything you like - some felting, some food, some lotions & potions making, some pampering, chatter, clothing swap... Anything you'd like to suggest, do or share.

We will be meeting in Atherton on 25th May.

Babes in arms are welcome (and other breastfed bubs), but we encourage you to make other arrangements for your other children.

PLEASE BRING:

*approx $10 for venue hire and materials for activities (in coins would be ideal if possible)

*food to share for lunch (or all-day grazing)

*drinks, teas etc if you like

*a bar of soap to felt on if you like

If you wish to bring an activity/craft to share, and there is cost involved for materials, please let me know by email asap so I can include all costs in the next email invitation.  You can also RSVP by email to help with planning.
