15 - 21 August 2022 (week 33)

 This week has been nice weather, we've been to the playground to do the obstacle course and played football on the green nearby and gone for walks locally.

We've read lots of books together and went to the library to get some new ones.

 

Vin wrote and drew in a birthday card for a friend. 

We did some weaving with paper and drew shapes on the finished pattern. Vin disguised some mario guys as some of his shapes!

Vin practiced some typing on the computer.

Vin made a quest to find the 5 keys and unlock the captured Minnie Mouse figure.

We built a little Minecraft house out of lego.

We read the book "Lion of the Sky". It has haiku riddles in about nature. We solved all the riddles then wrote our own. I wrote a haiku riddle, Vinnie made a whole comic puzzle quest!

We looked at the world map and at the globe and looked at how the shapes of the countries are changed by representing them on a flat map. We used a piece of string to find the shortest route between two places on the map and then on the globe and saw how the curve of the Earth means the actual shortest route can be very different. We looked at some other ways of representing the map of the Earth.

We read a bit about Ancient China in the mystery in time fact magazine.

We read a story about moving to a new country and did some accompanying activities and puzzles.

We played with the new story sack "Ringo the Flamingo" and read the story and the book about wheelchairs. We looked up some different types of wheelchair sports online.
