An eclectic mix!
This week has been a big mix of activities.
We volunteered at the local park with some other home ed families. We walked around the park and did a bird survey. We saw lots of birds including jays, bluetits, robins and even a woodpecker. We had to listen very carefully to hear the different types of bird song.
In the afternoon we did a survey at the pollination beds. We saw several types of bees. We also saw a very interesting caterpillar.
We looked it up when we got home and found out it is a knotgrass moth caterpillar.
There are lots of dragonflies at the park too.
Vin asked to learn about ballet. We watched a short tutorial and learned about the 5 positions in ballet. We had a try at them. We watched a few videos of professional ballet and had a go at some of the jumps and twists!
We practiced measuring things from a book. Vinnie decided to get a couple of cars and push them and then measure how far they had moved.
We went to the library and got some different books to read.
Vinnie read them all to me!
One of the books was called amazing aeroplanes and inspired Vin to make some paper aeroplanes himself.
Vinnie asked to see some arabic writing. We had a go at writing "hello" in arabic.
The ice block came out again for more ice skating fun! Vin built a lego sledge for a lego person to ride around on the ice.
We also did some activities on Khan Academy. Vinnie is doing maths and I am learning about animation. Vin enjoyed having a go at the animation activities too.
