April

Geometry again.  Working on circles with Arden and Irving.

A couple of Arden's.


Mine.

Irving's.

Arden working on measuring and ruling.

Working on numbers with Irving and Arden joining in.


Visiting Cottesloe beach, as part of our astronomy studies.  We went past the sundial to examine how it works, and then spent a lovely afternoon exploring the waves and rocks on one of the last hotter days of the season.

At Perth Airport waving off big sister, Willow, as she headed to Melbourne to volunteer at Supernova.


At the Shipwreck Museum in Fremantle.



Out doing some rubbish clean up along our section of the Swan River, on part of our studies on waterbirds and our local area. 

Along the walk we came across this bust of Nicholas Baudin which fit nicely with all our maritime studies of WA, and our visit to the Shipwreck Museum.  I like it when life offers synchronous moments like this!
Pizza by Arden for dinner

Making hot cross buns for Easter.


Sprouting some seeds(borage and cornflower) in egg shells and cottonwool.

Some reading, a favourite of mine, "The Little Prince".

Spontaneous experiments with sound.  Rubber bands of varying thickness and jars/bowls.


Irving working on hammering.

We sat and watched this Cactus flower open over the course of 10mins one morning.

I finally finished this blanket in time for the coming winter.
