Welcome to our blog!

Welcome to the SHEAF Blog.

Despite our best intentions, we're not great at keeping this blog updated with our latest happenings. We are, however, definitely an active group, meeting at least once each week during term time.

If you'd like to make contact with Dunedin home educators, our contact details are in the column, below right.

We send out a weekly email newsletter with details of upcoming events, courses, gatherings etc.

You can also find us on Facebook (page is visible whether you're a facebook user or not)

Have a look through this blog to see the types of events we have organised in the past. You'll also find links to other blogs and articles that we find useful or informative, on the off-chance that you'll appreciate them too :~) (Look for these more general blog-posts under the label "Weekend Reading")

If you're not currently on our email list and would like to contact us, please email us at the address you can see in the column on the right. We'd love to hear from you!

Partcipate in research about childhood behaviour?

From Nicola -

University of Otago research: What causes typically masculine behaviour in boys and girls?

Dr Kirstie Morgan is looking for 5 and 6 year old boys to help her complete her research on the naturally-occurring hormone Mullerian Inhibiting Substance and it's effect on children's behaviour. There was an attachment with the email newsletter with information about her research and what is involved if your son takes part - basically, she chats to them for a little while, then observes them playing and using a computer. A blood test is also involved, which puts some people off, but my son took part last year, and was quite happy to have the blood test in exchange for the gift voucher she gave us - I think I may have also mentioned Burger King :-) As well as testing the MIS levels, Kirstie will let you know your son's iron level. If you'd like to find out more or join her study, call Kirstie on 4795350

See the email newsletter or contact Nicola for the attachment
