Every week since last September we’ve been exploring a rich assortment of topics in astronomy, and our explorations for the 2024–2025 homeschool year are now complete! We’ve watched the skies, made friendship with the stars, sailed through the starry archipelagoes, and learned about comets, planets, galaxies, meteor showers, and much more. You can revisit all our celestial studies right here on the River Houses astronomy pages:
One special set within that collection features our twelve Great Stars for the homeschool year, which you can browse here:
A new homeschool year will begin on the first of September with Cygnus Term! Print out some of our homeschool calendars and planners on the main River Houses calendar page and follow along with us throughout the year ahead.
