Today has been a real mixed bag where weather is concerned.
It snowed a little this morning and then got really sunny and has also rained a bit
too with dark clouds coming over each time....then clearing to blue skies again.
When the skies are blue the temperature is LOVELY!!
We sat outside at the table on the deck and had a 'poetry tea' with drinks and cookies.
We took it in turns to read poetry to each other. This book of poems was also about sea life or creatures from 'Tide Pools'.
Today we also did a lot of science. One of the experiments was filling a bottle with oil and water and a little food colouring. Of course the oil would not mix with the water - even when we shook it really hard it would still separate:
We eventually went inside and I read several chapters of our story book to them.
Then we used the geometric shapes to try and memorize them. I think we all did really well - I will test them after the weekend and see if they remembered them :)
Another science experiment we did was to create gases using baking soda and vinegar, to inflate balloons:
They really liked this experiment and did it over and over and over again!!
All in all it's been a great day of learning together! Now the little ones are off to their dads for the weekend. Laurence is working and Susannah and I are going to art journal.
