Well this has been a bit slow. I was all set to post this months ago, and our computer was unco-operative and then I didn't get back to it. Life with two teenagers and two children just got a bit hectic!
A beautiful afternoon at Pelican Point with some home education friends.
Form drawing- making a circle from freehand lines.
Constructing an icosahedron, as part of our learning about the Platonic solids.
Our fire shaped tetrahedron, helping to remind us that the tetrahedron's element is fire! And adjacent, our tetrahedron die.
Some fun with sketching mathematical patterns after watching Vi Hart's youtube channel (sadly her channel is now gone, but if you google her, some people have cross shared her posts- 2025)
Some fun activities from "Earth, Fire, Air, Water".. The zaptrapp was a favourite. Simply make a face on a piece of paper, half wrap it on an orange, and roll him along. Arden and Irving had a lot of fun racing their oranges.
Looking at the tension of water, by floating a pin on its surface.
Floating and sinking a stone with a balloon.
Found this beauty whilst out collecting flowers to press.
And these beautiful tiles on an old building in our local area, whilst out collecting firewood.
All ready- with our Denk firebowl, Arden and Irving keen to try cooking on it! So setting it up with this idea in mind.
And our evening fire.
Crafting- Irving's knitting fork work, turned into fairy light decorations.
