Random Learning

It's been birthday season since I last wrote and I've only just got round to uploading the photos. George 3 turned 3 and then a week later George 1 turned 8. We had wonderful times with both of them but I've not done much else with the past 3 weeks.

The photos I've uploaded though have reminded me of what we have actually achieved and it's a surprising amount!

 George 1 and I investigated carbon dioxide one day. We made a solution of lime water and then Blew into it. When it goes cloudy, it shows that there is carbon dioxide present. This showed that there is carbon dioxide present when we breathe out. This led onto a conversation about the importance of plants and rain forests and photosynthesis.

On another day we went to my Brother In Law's home so that the older boys could have a go at being DJ's for the day. Oh how they loved it!

 
Lime water is made from Calcium Hydroxide and water.



One morning I woke up to find all 4 of my lovlies in a box! They had already been to Madagascar, Germany (where they spoke German), America and Scotland! That was one busy morning and all before breakfast

 One thing I love about home ed is that they have access to food and drink whenever they need it. One one their favourite morning snacks is hot chocolate with dipping biscuits. They make it themselves and one of them makes one for George 3. On this particular day though, the thing that really impressed me was that George 2 made a repeating pattern with his biscuits!
