From the 1st July, Jane will be starting an exciting new book called, The Secret lake by Karen Inglis.

Read and explore some wonderful books with a friendly group of Home Ed students. Be ready to be inspired and to inspire!

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you’ll go.” — Dr. Seuss

Eager Readers is a weekly Book Club aimed at children between 9 to 11 years old, however keen readers of all ages are welcome. Every week, we will discuss a selected book with others who love reading. Each book will last between 8-10 sessions.

If you have not tried a book club yet, the start of a new book is a great place to start. Each week we will have fun exploring specific themes before breaking off into small groups to talk about the books in more detail. We can even do some drama activities based on our reading. Reading aloud and drama tasks will always be optional, so you do not have to participate in these activities if you don’t want to. You will need to read the required chapters before each session, so you have plenty of ideas to share!

Please note, that all our books are chosen to be age-appropriate but also to ensure interesting and stimulating discussion! It is the parent or carer’s responsibility to ensure they are happy with their child reading the chosen book.

Please note:

If a class with exactly the same name is on more than once a week it is a repeat lesson with the same content. As places are limited and so you don’t have duplicate lessons please only sign up for the one class per week. This will leave spaces for other customers and stop any additional cost to yourself as we will be unable to give a refund.

On occasions we may have to change the day or time of a course or on rare occasions the course is cancelled. This maybe due to a teacher leaving or low numbers. We do try to do this only when absolutely necessary and will always give advance warning and try to offer an alternative for you.

Standard classes are £3 and numbers are limited to 40. Smaller classes (e.g. GCSE) are £6 are per student and classes are kept smaller at 25 maximum. If there is more than 1 child joining a £6 class you need to make sure you have added the correct amount to your basket. We reserve the right to ask for back payments if this does not happen.

For safeguarding purposes, every Zoom lesson includes a brief visual registration at the beginning which requires children to have their webcam switched on and their correct name (the one used on their LLP child profile) displayed on Zoom. If your child would like to join lessons but is anxious about this or needs to have their face covered during lessons for religious or any other reason please get in touch, and we can arrange a password for them to use instead.

We are now offering some courses as pre recorded lessons in topic blocks on llpextralearningspace.co.uk This then allows you to buy previous lessons in topic packs either for revision purposes or to do a topic yourselves. We recognise that this will have some issues for those that do not wish to be on camera so the new format of the class is that the visual register and any informal discussions happen before and after the lesson itself is recorded. The teachers will all have their settings set to speaker view so that the thumbnail of whoever is speaking will only be highlighted when or if they speak. If you do not want your child to appear in the recording it is your responsibility to ensure the camera is switched off after the visual register unless they have an agreed password then it can remain switched off at all times.
