Here we are enjoying the Honiton Home Education (HALF) group this week. The theme for the week was habitats (the current overall topic is nature):
 |
| Habitats quiz- selecting the correct habitat from a series of clues |
 |
| Colouring and activities |
 |
| Tahlia creates her own sandy habitat |
 |
| Creating a desert model (he loves following instructions!) |
 |
| Adding some stones and lichen for that desert effect |
 |
| Making a bridge out of pens |
 |
| Which animals live in the Arctic, which in the Antarctic? |
 |
| We all enjoy eating lunch together at the end |
Here are a few things we've been doing at home/out and about:
 |
| Making a hoopla to throw rings at |
 |
| Tahlia and Jory made donkeys at toddler group |
Zachary has been very excited about the start of the football world cup. He was very excited to see Russia thrashing Saudi Arabia 5-0 in the first match.
 |
| He loves collecting the Panini World Cup stickers |
 |
| Here's our World Cup chart |
 |
| The first score to write up |
Zachary has been baking hard this week - making a peanut butter and chocolate pie for Father's Day and a chocolate cake for his Grandad. Unfortunately we had a 130g packet of cookies instead of the 150g specified in the recipe. Zachary set to work with his calculator to work out exactly how many cookies we were lacking and also worked out the new ratio of butter to cookies so we knew how many grams of butter to use with fewer cookies. He then got a little distracted and wanted to know what every button on his Scientific calculator does...argh!
 |
| He loves following recipes |
 |
| "What does that one do?" |
Daddy has (mostly) finished tutoring so we have been enjoying spending more time with him before he starts marking...
 |
| A fun trip to Orange Elephant ice cream parlour |
 |
| Howdy, partner! |
 |
| Ice cream fun |
 |
| Tasty strawberry |
 |
| It's too cold for him but he likes the wafers |
