We headed to the Telus World of Science today. A had a blast there.....no idea what exactly she learned, but she had fun being surrounded by science all day :) In the body zone she spent quite a while on the balance machine and she enjoyed looking at the parts of the brain.......she enjoyed looking around the space station and she tried to steer the Mars Rover.....
We spent most of the afternoon in the discovery zones - A used the pump to fill the upper 'canal' to the point where it would overflow into the lower canals.....she also had fun with the bubble blowing basketball game and we learned about angles and how to blow at the correct angle to get the bubbles into the baskets....S was the perfect height already to get the bubbles in!
We used the wave machine and watched to see how high winds would cause the waves to crash higher onto the beach than a low breeze.......
A performed a play in the puppet theatre - it was about a lost polar bear and a lost porcupine who helped each other find their homes.....and then they met a sting ray :)
A bought a ball in the store there and spent much of the evening practicing catching with the ball.
Before we left for the Science centre, A sat at the table and drew lots of pictures and did quite a bit of colouring. She is really enjoying her art work right now.
Oh and another thing we are doing.....A is keeping a book log -0 she has a book and each day she picks one of the books we read and she draws a picture from the book and then writes the book title underneath...so she will ahve a record of many of the books we read. Yesterday it was 'There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly'!
