This is us



In Sunny West Sussex I home educate 3 children who are 10 and a half, 8 and a half and 6. They have never been to any kind of school and we follow a path of unschooling / interest led learning rather than a curriculum. We do not limit access to technology. From the beginning we have believed in learning through play and Minecraft is the main shape play takes at the moment



Minecraft has been really popular for over a year now. Minecraft does not come with an instruction book and the trio have learnt by watching YouTube tutorials and well, by playing really.


Each of the trio has their own gamer tag and skin which they like to change and personalise to reflect their current interests using a website called Skindex - Skindex tip one first log in then make your skin - if you try and do it the other way round you may well lose your progress.



S (10) has a creative Realm and likes to plays on servers with her friends. S's main Minecraft friend lives 300 miles away so it is a perfect platform for them.  At the moment her best server is Hypixel and her favourite game is Build Battle. She recently won build battle with a Marge on a sofa for the theme couch. Her knowledge of the blocks is amazing. S watches Stampy and Squid


E (8) has a realm too but it is more PVP (player versus player) he likes Hypixel but prefers the game cops and crims and also likes CosmicPVP His best YouTubers are PrestonPlayz and PopularMMOs


O (6) likes Stampy's WonderQuest series. He plays Minecraft mostly using Technic launcher and remarked the other day "I never play vanilla single player anymore!" He likes redstone and using technic launcher has been the perfect way to easily access the mods his best youtubers use and he can fly to the moon too,


This is going to be a place for me to log the trio's builds and adventures as they relate to Minecraft
