Real History

Welcome to the Jamboree, a website created by home-educated young people, with a double aim. Firstly, to provide help, support and ideas to families trying to bring up their children at home, and secondly to point out to those who are in school and not enjoying it, that there is another option.

We are now all beyond school-going age, and hardly spent any time there when we were. We can therefore say with the greatest surety that learning at home is an ideal solution to every type of school problem. It is legal, easy, well within the reach of everybody's capability and most importantly, jolly good fun! 
The latest updates include a recipe for hazelnut biscuits on Bethan's on-line cookbook and also coriander chutney. In the craft corner all the Easter crafts can be viewed, including the very popular knitted Easter chick, the marzipan hares, and the marzipan ducklings, which include a recipe for homemade marzipan. Easter biscuits and hot cross buns are another two Easter specialities from past years still on the Jamboree.  

I hope you enjoy browsing through the various sections:

WENDY'S CRAFT CORNER has a selection of crafts that children can do, with diagrams, drawings and clear instructions to guide one through every step.

GARDENING section contains gardening advice.

BETHAN'S ONLINE COOKBOOK is a large collection of recipes from around the world, with step-by-step instructions and a drawing of each dish.

REAL HISTORY section has an assortment of 36 of the world's greatest historical characters and also stories from the past.

HOME UNIVERSITY is a collection of several in-depth articles on how to study different subjects.

SCHOOL OR HOME section contains radical advice on whether it is better to go to school, or rather learn home.

STORIES (right) is a collection of a few great stories that have been told for generations.

CARTOONS drawn originally for the Jamboree website can also be found scattered across the site.

I hope you find something interesting on this website and if so we are very glad to have provided help.
