 The fifth episode of Home Education joins the “road-schooling” Rasmussens in their house bus. The seven kids learn through collaborative family based projects – here they’re learning about geography, history and politics through designing their own ancient civilisation. Their resourceful mum Bridie is kept busy meeting the needs of her children - aged from 6 weeks to 17 years.
