Adventures in England - 2 Week Unit Study - Great Britain Series
Adventures in England - 2 Week Unit Study - Great Britain Series
Our Adventures in England Read, Paint, Cook Unit Study is here!
It’s part of our Great Britain Series and includes 2 weeks filled with fun adventures in the city and the country with poetry, and artist spotlights from the city and the country, as well as the past and current! Shakespeare, Rossetti, Burne-Jones and Morris are but a few of the classics you can learn more about, plus art appreciation from a range of art movements! Created for kids 3 to 13 and beyond, with something for everyone to enjoy!
The lessons have been written to pair alongside our Wind in the Willows Art + Baking Novel Study Guide, which includes 12 amazing recipes, art projects, language arts connections, coloring pages, additional book lists and more! This study is being released one week after our Adventures in England, so come back to the shop to check it out. At that time, the units will also be available for purchase as a bundle of the two!
Dive into this creatively inspiring Great Britain Series that will be continuing to be released this Spring, 2021. Scotland and Wales are next, with history lessons on the flags, geography, art appreciation, landscape artists spotlights, animal spotlights, traditional recipes, books, and so much more, plus a second Novel Study Guide that pairs with our Scotland Adventure.
My hope is that our World Adventures spark a desire to learn about your own family history, the world, art movements and bring a love for travel in our hearts, all from the comfort of your homeschool.
