Little Roots
A weekly gathering for homeschooling families
"Growing friendships, one Wednesday at a time"
More Than a Playdate
Little Roots is a small, committed group of 6 homeschooling children (ages 6-7) who meet weekly at Mawun Valley Farm to play, learn, and grow together.
No rotating faces. No drop-ins. Just the same kids, every week, building real friendships through sports, creativity, and shared adventures.

What We Do
Each week brings something different. Sports & games are constant; the second half rotates.
Woodworking & Building
Birdhouses, boats, frames — real tools, real skills, real pride in what they make
Cinema Day
Outdoor screening with popcorn. Educational or inspirational films followed by discussion
Farm & Nature
Feed animals, plant seeds, explore bugs, harvest vegetables — hands in the dirt
Creative & Craft
Wire sculptures, clay, painting, cooking — turning imagination into something real
⚽ Sports & Games (Every Week)
Football on our 12m x 17m grass court, relay races, obstacle courses, frisbee, parachute games, tag — plus board games and building challenges when it rains.
This Isn't Drop-In
Friendships need consistency. We ask families to commit — and we commit back.

Questions?
What if my child is 5 or 8?
This group is specifically for ages 6-7 to ensure similar developmental stages. We may open other age groups in the future.
What if we need to miss a week?
Life happens. We ask that you miss no more than 2 sessions per term, excluding illness. Consistency is key for friendships.
What do parents do during the 3 hours?
You're welcome to relax at Noni's Café, work on your laptop, or simply enjoy the farm. Just stay on the property.
Is this a school?
No. This is a social gathering for homeschoolers — focused on play, creativity, and friendship, not curriculum.
