This exhibition shows the journey of learning at home for our family during the Covid-19 pandemic. Our home schooling class consisted of Jack (Grade 2) and Millie & Abigail (Prep).

The exhibition is set in our kitchen dining area which acted as our classroom during this time. At the centre of the exhibition is the kitchen table, which was home-base for our home-schooling. On the table you will find many of the tools, technologies and resources that we used each day to learn and create.

Another focal point in the exhibition is the chalkboard. Each day we used the chalkboard to write up our plans for the day. We also used it for learning and creating.

At some point we decided to start taking photos of the chalkboard so we could keep a record of this unique time living and learning together.
