We had a bit of a rubik's craze here early last year, which saw Irving in particular taken by the 3x3 and the 4x4 cube. There was lots of watching youtube and practising the algorithm until, he went from the first more basic cube to the larger one. It also happened that there was a speed cubing event in the Fringe, so we had to go to that! They were astonishingly fast to watch, and seemed a little unnatural.
Irving decided to cut all his hair short.
Off on the wheels- new rollerskates, and a shorter hairstyle.
Working on some maths- creating prisms and NAPLAN. This was the first time we've done NAPLAN in the family. Willow did OLNA, Gabriel didn't do any tests. It was a useful exercise in the experience of doing a test, for Arden, and I think reassured him, that his education is working! Personally I found it amusing that I was allowed to run the test. Historically that would not have been ok.
Learning about making ink, using coffee, berries and candle black.
Reading-Norse Mythology with Irving, and Frankenstein, with Arden.
Bread making from our German Baking book. mohn brotchen.
Baking damper on the winter solstice, and some fun with the ashes.
Off ten pin bowling for Irving's birthday.
