14 - 20 June (week 24)

 This week we watched some sea creature videos including sea turtles laying their eggs and hatching and heading out to sea, sea creatures that glow in the dark such as sea star and comb jelly. We watched some episodes of octonauts too including the ones about sea turtles, sea stars and the comb jelly episode!


 Vin set up a mini golf course for us to play.


We started a book about World Religions. We looked up pictures and stats to compare the Christ The Redeemer statue in Brazil with the Grand Buddha statue at Ling Shan. 

We read quite a lot of other books together this week.

We thinned out our bean plants in the garden and planted some more things including thyme and roses. The beans are growing really well! 

Vin cut up the bread and prepared croutons to go with our dinner one evening. 

We baked some raisin cookies. Vin did a great job weighing and stirring the ingredients and scooping them onto the tray to bake. While melting the butter, we talked about heat and surface area and how chopping the butter into smaller pieces gives it more surface area for the heat to melt it.


We went out for a walk to local woods for a "dinner picnic" and admired the trees. We also visited Bedgebury and saw loads of lovely flowers. We took pictures of some plants to look up and draw into our nature journal. Thanks to the book about trees we've been reading recently, we noticed that one of the fir trees had two different types of cones on! We also found a biiiig ant hill while exploring.



We played some board games including Kingdomino and the Logo Board game.

We re-read the Ancient Greeks fact booklet and started some of the puzzles. 

Vin drew a draw-along and read some facts in a newspaper his Oma brought round for him :)

We talked about loads of different things this week.
