Our approach
Our framework
Our framework covers 4 content areas: Nature, Nurture, Nourish and Need. And then we RiWiTiTi© (said ‘ReeWeeTeeTee’).
Content area 1 of 4
Nature
Covers topics such as:
Science
Biology, reproduction, life cycles, ecosystems, and the role of plants and animals.
Geography
Physical landscapes, climate, environmental changes, conservation, and human impact.
Wellbeing
Growing food, nature's medicine, sustainable living, and preserving natural resources.
This encourages a deeper appreciation for the world, understanding how nature sustains us, and ways we can care for it.

Nurture
It's imperative to us to remember to nurture the following areas:
Our relationship with the planet
Eco, reuse, recycle, repurpose and conservation.
Our connection with the earth's inhabitants
Culture, history, language, animals and community.

Need
We are huge advocates in happiness and mental wellbeing being prioritised, but equipping our children for the real world, life and working is vital. So below are non-negotiables:
Finance
Budgeting and money.
Life skills
Repair
Design and technology, home economics, and the history of how items were created and evolved.
Communication
Written, verbal, audio and reading.
And then we…
What is RiWiTiTi©?
(Said ‘ReeWeeTeeTee’)
RiWiTiTi© is a flexible learning approach that helps children engage with information in different ways, through reading, writing, digital work, and speaking.
- Ri – Read It
- Wi – Write It
- Ti – Type It
- Ti – Tell It
Step 1 of 4
Read It
Ways to explore a topic
- A nonfiction book on history, science, nature, or any subject of interest.
- A fiction book that ties into the topic (for example, reading a story about ancient Egypt for a history lesson).
- A news article on current events, science discoveries, or cultural topics.
- A poem, fable, or folk tale related to a theme.
- A biography of an inspiring person (for example, Marie Curie or Martin Luther King Jr.).
- A recipe or DIY guide to understand measurements and instructions.
- Instructions or manuals to learn how things work (for example, a LEGO build or a first aid guide).
- A transcript from a video or documentary for deeper understanding.
Step 2 of 4
Write It
Creative and practical writing ideas
- Bullet-pointed key facts (for example, "5 Things I Learned About Space").
- Q&A format: write questions and their answers.
- A mind map or word web connecting ideas from what they read.
- A step-by-step guide (for example, "How to Bake Bread" or "How the Water Cycle Works").
- A short summary or reflection on what they learned.
- A poem or song lyrics related to the topic.
- A diary entry from the perspective of a historical figure, scientist, or explorer.
- A persuasive letter (for example, "Why We Should Protect Endangered Species").
- A comic strip telling a short story or explaining an event.
- A comparison list (for example, "Ancient Greece vs. Rome: How They Differ").
- Instructions for an experiment or project (for example, "How to Make a Volcano Model").
Step 3 of 4
Type It
Ways to present digitally
- A typed fact sheet or mini digital report.
- A social media-style post (for example, "Did you know? The Great Wall of China is over 13,000 miles long!").
- A digital infographic (for example, "The Life Cycle of a Butterfly" with images and labels).
- A flyer or poster (for example, "Save the Bees: Why Pollinators Matter!").
- A travel postcard (for example, "Greetings from Ancient Rome!").
- An email or blog post summarising their topic.
- A mini children's book explaining a concept in a fun way.
- A digital comic strip about a historical event, science discovery, or creative story.
- A pretend online review (for example, "Review of the Titanic's First-Class Experience").
- An imaginary news article (for example, "Breaking News: Scientists Discover a New Dinosaur!").
- A mock interview (for example, "Interview with Galileo About His Discoveries").
Step 4 of 4
Tell It
Fun and engaging ways to share the learning
- Pretend to be a news anchor reporting on their topic.
- Act as a museum tour guide, explaining a historical artefact.
- Role-play as a scientist, explorer, or historical figure giving a talk.
- Create a YouTube-style video (for example, "Hey guys, today we're learning about the planets!").
- Record a podcast-style voice note explaining the topic.
- Tell a sibling, parent, or friend about what they learned in a casual conversation.
- Create a quiz and test family members on the topic.
- Make a short skit or play based on what they learned.
- Use hand gestures, puppets, or drawings to visually explain an idea while talking.
- Record a short TikTok or Reel-style clip summarising a fun fact.
- Explain the topic over lunch or dinner in an informal way.
- Make up a joke or riddle about the topic and share it.
Every step can flex to your family.
Each step can be adapted to fit different subjects, interests, and learning styles. Ideal for ND families.
