Service Description

We are 2 brothers making scrolls and movies while learning about the world and sharing all this via online Zoom sessions. EVERYONE IS WELCOME! Children and adults who are children at heart are all invited to join us. We are children teaching and sharing with you! How it works: There are 8 major themes in each cycle. The 8 themes are: 1. Universe 2. Earth & Microlife 3. Ocean 4. Plants & Fungi 5. Birds, Dinosaurs and Reptiles 6. Animals 7. History and Culture 8. Science and Technology, Engineering, Maths Each month has a different theme, so the whole cycle takes 8 months (roughly equivalent to an academic year), which is then repeated. This also gives a chance for the themes to fall under different seasons so we learn different things. Each month has 4 interactive Zoom sessions (1 per week). The 4 sessions are all different and relate to the theme; nothing is ever repeated in exactly the same way although learning is a spiral staircase (going upwards!) and as children we are excited about seeing connections in everything. Each session takes a particular topic related to the theme and expands on it in detail. We activate our learning by making something related to the topic and recording it in our handmade horizontal handscroll, which is also a long timeline of the universe and is filmic in its extreme landscape form. On our scrolls we might draw, paint, cut and stick things and we might even do 3D stuff as well. We’ll use things around the house and this will evolve organically, and if there is something special we will tell you in class in advance of the next session. The plan for each session, presented by Caspian and Kashi and facilitated by Mama: 45 mins in English followed by 15 mins in Chinese - 20 mins Caspian presents and shares what he’s learned, makes something for you to follow along and records it in his scroll (or you can just watch) - 20 mins Kashi's turn, as above - We answer questions/chitchat and say goodbye to English speakers and then switch to Chinese (of course English speakers are welcome to stay but the remaining part of the session will be conducted in Chinese) - 15 mins in Chinese, a repeat and summary of the English above For more about us: see https://www.doublebrothermovies.com/ This month: MONTH 1 UNIVERSE May 2025 1.
