Learning days!

Peter enjoyed playing floor hockey in the community this fall and winter. Often he was goalie which he preferred and did well at.Although our Botany study ended in November on the topic of roots, we commenced it again on Jan.6th by planting a tubular bulb (Paperwhite Narcissus). The activity was to force the bulb to think it is Spring! It worked :)

Both boys participated in the "Sweet Sounds" Violin Concert in February. Our neighbours were delighted to see the boys playing.
Our Science lessons have focused on Astronomy during the colder months this winter. Here is our activity on Mercury, a planet with many craters which we attempted to depict in this lump of dough. Gideon enjoyed pushing the marbles into the dough to create the craters.

Fun! We loved the astronomy study... and are still plugging away at Botany with not quite as much joy :)
