Vin's Learning Journey

We've carried on with the Egyptian theme this week, as well as some other things. We bought the Usborne book "See Inside Ancient Egypt".   It was really interesting. At the end of the book there were also links to lots of great websites with some fun games to do with Ancient Egypt. We went to the local pet store and met some of the little furry animals Vin made a lego minifigure into the sun god Ra He made a temple for him too We went to the Airshow at Eastbourne "Airbourne". For the next couple days afterwards, vinnie made a lot of paper airplanes and put on his own airshows! (this picture is only about a small fraction of them!) We read the poem "The Crocodile" by Lewis Carroll. Vinnie liked the idea of the little fishies being lured into his snappy mouth! Vin drew a couple of Nile crocodiles. Vin did lots of colouring and activities from his Egyptian activity book. We visited Bedgebury and found some of the sculpures hidd...

The past week we have: Checked out some cool dens on Southborough Common with some friends Learned about water, atoms and molecules. Learned that water can be a solid, liquid or a gas. Found out that the molecules in liquid water move around, and move faster when the water is hot! Visited the "Kids in Pyramids" exhibit at the shopping centre. We found out about some of the pharoahs, Vinnie dressed up, learned a bit about pyramids, heiroglyphs and treasure! Vinnie made a cool lego dinosaur inspired by his new Lego Jurassic world comic. We made a magnetic fishing game Played at the playground Rode on the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch railway for daddy's birthday Played and did colouring with Vinnie's cousin Writing practice "slanted letters" Browsed through our brochures from Canada that a friend brought back. We investigated a map of Vancouver, practiced grid references, navigated to and from some of the places listed on the map, le...

Since getting back from holiday we have flitted between lots of different things with no particular theme! Vin has started getting more ideas of things he's interested in to investigate in the near future, so now seems a good time to list some of our recent activities. Vin and his dad made a foam airplane and watched it float: We went for a walk on broadwater warren RSPB reserve and found the old tank turret: We did lots of geocaching, including some nice walks and some fun finds! We saw tiny frogs as small as bugs: We visited hastings and went on the rides and visited the lifeboat station. While there we learned a lot about water safety and also saw a real life rescue in progress. Vin scooted around a couple of skate parks We checked out a cool statue of Arthur Conan Doyle We did drawing and painting: We played with pouring water We made a little scene from the sarah and duck comic (and also done lots of other activities from comics and magazines) W...
