Minimal Action


This week has been a bit light on our organised schoolwork, as people have been unwell.  Unusually for around here, I stayed well!  Which was lovely.

Arden and I have moved onto looking at how people dress, we started the week examining climates, and why people traditionally dressed differently around the world.  As part of this, we looked at various forms of twilight-civil, nautical and astronomical and how the lengths of twilight vary around the world.

Arden's diagram of the horizon and the angle's of the sun during twilight.

Our reading this week, something to complement reading the Little House Series, learning about how the cowboy's clothing and implements helped him survive.

Arden and I went to a woodwork class again, with Greg from the Joy of Wood.
We were learning to make a box with a sliding lid this time.

Arden's box.

My box.

Some cotton to live in my box.  (Arden still hasn't decided what he's using his for.)

Arden's free time woodwork; an axe.

Gabriel made some progress on reading this week, and his tie.  Arden got a little of his jammies pants done, and Willow has gotten back into stuff the last couple of days.
