Rai’s already shown us how to break out a beat – now make your own xylophone using a few things from around your home and you’ll be half way to a house band!
This fun activity will get you started experimenting with music. Why not try to come up with your own theme song?
You’ll need:
– some glass jars of various sizes
– water in a container
– something metal (like a kitchen spoon)
Can you beat the Prince of the Aeon Academy Scavenger Hunt at his own game?
After you’ve beat Maxwell’s speedy Scavenger Hunt time, challenge a family member to do it even faster! Or write your own unique list of things to find around the home, and swap your list with a friend. What will you come up with?
Alice finishes reading The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter. Do you think Big Wig or Luna have learned anything from the story? It’s hard to tell, but their little faces did seem very alert!
Although these bunnies have less energy than Baloo the puppy, they are just as cute!
Alice introduces us to Big Wig and Luna, who are very happy to sit munching on parsley and other greens while Alice reads us The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter.
You’ll feel like a star circus performer once you master these easy hula hooping tricks!
In this video, Hannah will lead you through a calming warm-up, and then demonstrate three hula hooping techniques: hooping around your waist, hooping around your arm using the “stop sign” technique, and then hooping around your hands using the “prayer hands” technique.
After you’ve got the hang of it, why not put on a show for your family?
More hooping tips and tricks coming soon!
Now that the beautiful watercolours you made with Ochre last time are dry, we are going to add some more detail and cut them out. This part can be tricky, so take as much time as you need!
Once our underwater watercolour designs are complete, you can stick them up in your bathroom to make it feel like you’re in an aquarium every time you take a shower.
Marshdog describes the perilous journey ahead, for those brave enough to answer the call. The Elf Towers are imbued with a great magickal significance… And what will we encounter between them, in the Twilit Woods or the plains of Parvonne?
Marshdog’s emissaries Game Masters George and Enki will be running live tabletop roleplaying adventures from the Dawnsaga series, starting next week.
The dramatic adventure sessions will be held over Zoom twice a week, on Wednesdays and Thursdays. All you need to participate is an internet-connected device with Zoom installed, plus a fantastical imagination of course!
Characters will be chosen during the first session.
If you know any young adventurers who would like to join them on their quest, please email Saadia in our front office as soon as possible. Further information about the sessions will be made available to those interested.
If your family would like a simpler routine than the 15 minute workout Enki lead us through last time, this is a great place to start!
Practice your balance, focus, and strength with this Ninja-inspired workout. Then stage a sneaky Ninja challenge in your loungeroom!
As before, all you need to for this fun and challenging workout is just a bit of space to move.
Who’s ready for some more percussive action?!
In this video, Rai takes the simple 1,2,3,4 beat we learned in episode 1 and uses it to play with some common household objects.
Learn to play in an ensemble by playing a washing basket, laundry bucket, and mixing bowl with your family.
A great one for letting loose some energy and jazzing up your day!
Let’s learn how to make a flowerpot out of clay coils!
In part 1 of this tutorial, Is takes us through the steps of rolling ‘sausages’ out of clay, coiling them into your desired pot shape, smoodging the clay so no cracks appear, and pinching the pot walls into the right thickness.
These are great foundational ceramic techniques that you can use for a lot of different projects.
Contact Saadia in the Aeon front office if you would like us to deliver you some clay you can use to make these super cute pots!
Part 2 – decorating the pots using the “sgraffito” technique – coming soon.
