How to have fun being a story builder :
• Start a story together: “Once upon a time, two dragons found a…”
• Each person adds a sentence, taking turns.
• Afterwards, you can draw a picture of the story.
(Skills: imagination, sentence building, sequencing, oral storytelling). #storytellingisfun #aspire2shine
✨Home Education Fun! Science in Action!
We’ve been exploring how crystals grow and why fair testing is so important. Our first attempt didn’t quite work (not enough solution 🙈), but our control showed us the liquid actually does work—just on the smaller pieces we set up properly.
Second time around, with a fair test and the right amounts, the results were so much clearer! 🌟 A perfect reminder that science is all about experimenting, learning, and trying again.

Today was one of those moments—the kind that makes your heart smile and reminds you exactly why you do what you do.
After absolutely smashing a round of mental maths, this little superstar burst into a celebration dance—arms in the air, twirling with pure joy. Confidence, pride, and a sparkle in her eyes… it was everything.

Helping Teens Establish a Positive Routine: Aspire2Shine’s Advice for Parents
With a new school term beginning and exams approaching, many parents are looking for ways to help their teens create positive daily routines.
A strong routine helps develop healthy habits, such as waking up on time, completing homework, exercising, and contributing around the house. When routines become consistent, these tasks feel more like habits than chores.
However, teens are still learning how to manage their time and responsibilities, so they often need guidance. For parents, it can be difficult to find the right balance between stepping in and giving teens space to figure things out.
If you’re looking for ideas, here are Aspire2Shine’s top tips for helping teens build a routine:
1. Start With Encouragement
Avoid criticising, even if you’re feeling worried or frustrated. Criticism can leave teens feeling demotivated. Instead, focus on believing in them and offering encouragement.
2. Skip the Nagging
Nagging doesn’t encourage accountability. Instead, it can create tension and give teens an excuse to avoid taking responsibility for their actions.
3. Work Together
Collaborate with your teen to create a routine that suits their needs. Acknowledge what’s important to them, such as social time or screen use, to make the plan realistic and achievable.
4. Discuss Aspirations
Many teens are still figuring out what they want for their future. Take time to explore their interests and goals, and use those as motivation to keep them focused.
5. Celebrate Progress
Small steps forward are still progress. Be willing to compromise and recognise their efforts, no matter how minor they may seem.
6. Stay Committed
Building a routine takes time, and mistakes are part of the process. Focus on the journey rather than trying to achieve perfection right away.
Parenting teens can be challenging, but by working together and staying patient, you can help them build habits that set them up for success. Remember, perseverance and encouragement go a long way.
You’ve got this – good luck!
