This week on the homeschool web...

I'd kind of like some tree blocks... me I want them not so much the kids. :-)

Lots of very cool chemistry infographics.

The Joyful, Illiterate, Kindergarteners of Finland

Some ideas for helping with pencil grip.

What we're reading....

 Me- I found this hard to get into- much of it is common sense but still good advice.

Me- I really enjoyed this... but damn I hate when they put all those stickers on the cover of books.

 Will- Still on the Pokemon craze... Will says of this 'I like it'.

We've been so busy....

I apologise for being totally absent from this blog! We've been very busy with house guests, family visiting from NZ and a new little cousin in the house. We have been schooling all along with that but I have definitely been flying by the seat of my pants and need to sit down and focus my efforts on paper before the year is out.
This term....

•  we're doing Chemistry with a bit of Geology and Nuclear Physics thrown into the mix. 
•  our shared novel is Andy Griffiths 13 Storey Tree House.
•  we're biking for exercise.
•  we're making the most of the milder warm weather by getting out to Lesmurdie falls among other places.
• we're tinkering with obselete electrical appliance.
• we're making models with parts from electrical appliances
• we're learning about Dinosaurs thanks to Woolworths.
• we met up with a bunch of other home-schoolers at Stirk Park.  
• we're growing crystals.
• we're taking photos for a stop motion movie.

I still have a bunch of posts to write from last term... hopefully I'll get you caught up soon. :-)

Bubble Blower

We've been busy lately with guests and visitors so not much time for blogging- but we're still doing school work. K Mart has a number of very cool kits for kids at super reasonable prices. I picked up this Bubble Blower kit for Will and he was super keen to get into it. With the exception of one fiddly wire he completed the whole project himself.

Some Waiata for free download... thinking Maori for LOTE would be awesome. :-)

Interesting articles about Sensory Issues.

A great big resource for homeschool science- lots of links too. :-)
