What  are People saying 

"Invaluable to Education"

“Edwina’s lesson plans are so well thought out and simple to follow. I love that she focuses on hands on learning and uses alternatives to worksheets. I also love how all the curriculum is linked so I don’t have to think about it as a homeschool Mum. Highly recommend Edwina and her curious approach to learning for children. Her many years in teaching is evident in her lesson plans and I think she is invaluable to education moving forward and a wealth of knowledge.”

- Natalie Rees (Homeschool Educator)

"Professional and Engaging"

"Edwina delivers very professional units of work that anyone from the most experienced, to the at home parent can deliver to their children with confidence and ease, knowing that their little learners will be engaged and covering the Australian curriculum content. I will definitely be purchasing more of these units and look forward to many more lessons to do with my children at home, and in the classroom."

- Nadia Bosco ( Classroom Educator)

"Highly Engaging"

"I found Edwina’s lesson plan to be an invaluable resource to support my classroom teaching. Everything I needed was at my fingertips. I loved the inquiry - based learning underpinning the activities, the clear links to the curriculum and the integration across multiple subject areas. The worksheets were attractive and the suggested activities were highly engaging for my students. I found them easy to prepare and set up, utilising resources that I already had on hand in my classroom. I thoroughly recommend Edwina’s lesson plans for any educator wanting to inject some more zest into their teaching."

- Danielle Roberts (Teacher 30 plus years)
