Dino Match

Sorting and Classifying

Sorting and Classifying our dinosaurs into Carnivores and Herbivores. We took printed the picture below and added it into our Dinosaur Study book.

Dino play

Some dinosaur play!!

Electronic Rex

This kit is from the super cheap range of science and electronic kits that KMart has started building up. (I'm keen to get the anatomical model). The age recommendation on it was 8+ and I struggled at times to understand the instructions- so it wasn't really suitable for Tama- but he did seem to enjoy the process even with all the assistance I had to give. And he's more than happy with the result.

Dinosaur Study

Tama chose Dinosaurs as a subject of study this term. I can't say that I was surprised and luckily we are very well resourced as it's our third round of this particular obsession in the family. :-) I struggled with it at first but I think I underestimated Tama's knowledge and understanding- and aimed too low. We're finding our groove now. Luckily Perth Zoo has got an animatronic Dinosaur display happening so we're looking forward to checking that out.

Magical Blocks

This is the last 24 hours at our place....

 We adopted these blocks into our family yesterday from their last family who had out grown them. These are International blocks- played with in South Africa and Perth by South Africans, Aussies and now Kiwis!  We got a super good deal for around 200 blocks- really really happy! 

Will started building a catapult with them in the five minutes we had at home after we dropped the blocks off and went to do the school/kindy run. Then he and Robert worked together to make a Theme park.

 Tama made the letter 'T'.

And then became a skip bin rubbish truck.

This morning  they worked on some more bits before they got dressed.

 And a dinosaur park after breakfast. They 'filmed' a narrated Dinosaur show after Kindy. With performances by the T-rex and Tricertops.

This afternoon it has become some sort of fantasy land which hides a number of precious Orbs which need to be hunted and found.

The only bad thing about these blocks is trying to get them to stop playing so they can eat or leave the house. :-)
