We've made it a habit this year to have holiday catch ups with our home ed friends for some free form play with our general social group. It has been quite pleasant to get out and about and explore some different areas of Perth with our friends.
Cottesloe civic centre had been on my list of places to get too, and we had a great time;it is just so beautiful!
Waiting for WA Ballet to perform "Peter and the Wolf".
Working on some maths.
Illustration of Briar Rose by Arden.
Irving's sketch of the Frog Prince- who's green skin one can see sticking to the door! :D
I particularly liked the creativity in this sketch by Irving. It could almost be mistaken for just being paper!
Some more sketches from Grimm's fairytales, this time "Godfather Death".
My sketch.
Irving's.
And Arden's.
Physics in action- creating a scale using bottles and water.
Patterns in percussion, and our reading for this block. Bill Bryson's "A Short History of Nearly Everything."
Magnetism.
Some class 1 science, making a spinner, and looking at optical illusions.
Opening night for Mosaic exhibition- A day in the life of Western Australia. We love this and have done it for about three years now.
Learning mandolin.
And joining the pickers' club for a jam.
Irving spent some time examining how to pull this guitar apart.
We happened across ABC Perth's open day, which was surprisingly interesting. Arden and Irving had a good chat to a camerman, and we got to the sets of "The Heights".
Gabriel and Arden tried out dinghy sailing, and Arden is now enthused to try more.
A few of us headed to Rooftop movies to see "Casablanca", as it is a favourite around here.
And we were excited to see this in Camelot's movie program, as Willow is an extra in it!
We also had our home ed review, and I must admit I'm always glad to get that done. Ours is now at the beginning of term 4 and it makes life a bit easier to have it then, rather than having to rush around about it at the end of the term, near Arden's birthday and Christmas.
