Chemistry Course enrolments - closing soon!!
We got this email the other day... Do contact Nathalie soon if you're interested!
Hi to all home educators in Dunedin and surrounding areas,
I am running a chemistry course for home educated children aged 11+ years on 10 and 11 February 2010 in Dunedin. The course is run at Otago university in one of their laboratories. This is a great opportunity to experience practical hands-on chemistry in a fully set up lab. There is no prior knowledge or skill required.
I am a home educating mum myself and a trained secondary school science teacher with a degree in chemistry.
The closing date for enrolments is Friday 18 December. So far we have received 12 enrolments and I will need a minimum of 32 children for the two courses to be able to go ahead (16 children per course).
So if you are considering enrolling your child(ren), please get back to me soon. It would be a shame to cancel this course as this is such a unique learning opportunity.
Best regards,
Nathalie Thomas, MSc, DipT
