This Week in Zoo School

This week we concentrated on our times tables, and we learned about angles and the lines that dissect them. We've started reading New Moon by Stephanie Meyer (again!) in preparation for the upcoming movie and we read alot of information on skunks and where they live.

We got another 2 squares of our blanket knitted up...this is a long term project! LOL

We planted out some seeds...capsicum, radish, lettuce, chives, cucumber, phlox, heart-sees, cosmos and nasturtiums. This is what it looked like on Monday...

And this is what it looks like today!

We practiced drawing eyes and wings:
And we worked a little more on our mixed media canvases...


And we did lots and lots of constructing with K'nex. We've made a robot, a Ferris wheel and a serpent roller coaster:




We've also baked jam drops, peanut choc chip cookies and cupcakes. And we cooked Caramelized Chicken cutlets for dinner.

Busy....busy...busy!

Welcome

This blog is a chance for me to talk/share what is going on in the Castle Zoo School. We took a huge step nearly 9 weeks ago and un-enrolled Lolly from formal school. In the past few weeks we have seen our 14 year old blossom and start to show an interest in learning. She spends her free time reading, crafting, drawing, and building!

We will attempt to update this blog each few days to show what we've been up to.
