Vin's Learning Journey

This week we have Made a cafe Coloured in "Day of the Dead" sugar skulls (calaveras) Made little bats with straws to blow through to make them fly lots of Halloween colouring Made salt pictures to colour with droppers of coloured water. I made a couple in advance, then Vin made his own. He chose a triforce from legend of zelda Planned our pumpkin carving. He chose a template of bowser from the computer in the end. Made play dough icecreams Carved peppers for a Halloween dinner Made spooky witches potions with the coloured water, salt, sugar, shaving foam, washing up liquid, shampoo, and fizzy water. The washing up liquid and fizzy water was a fun combo. The salt made the shampoo turn watery. Went for a walk in some woods we'd not visited before. Made cardboard creations

Vin has wanted to try a Dragon fruit for ages! We finally found one to buy and try. We made our predictions before cutting it, what did we think it would look like inside? How would it taste? We were all way off! (it tasted a bit like kiwi) We used some foam modelling clay to make some Halloween monsters We built the Labo piano, Vin was so inventive and used the leftover little pieces to make a picture. It is a city, with power lines. The ninja turtles had some fun practicing writing numbers Vin did some great drawing in his How to draw Ninjago characters book Vin invented some very interesting lego creations. He is really enjoying colouring at the moment. He has done a LOT! We've had fun with magnetic tiles Vin's read steam train books at the Second hand book shop at Scotney Castle (again! Is this the 3rd or 4th time now?!) We drew our own autumn leaves, cut them out, and used them to make pretty autumn lantern decorations. We made gloopy hallow...
