On the other hand, Emily continues to want to go go go...
We have almost completed our space project. We have investigated the planets, the sun, comets and moons. We have discussed galaxies and solar systems. We have looked at books and video clips of mans space exploration - both sucessful and tragic and to finish we will be treating ourselves to the trip to the Space Centre later this week.
Emily has been working hard on her hama beads, she has worked out how to follow complex patterns and just gets on with these herself.
She has also been busy this weekend making wooden models from kits. Here are the Spider, Butterfly and Dolphin she made. She needed a little help with some of the difficult parts, but mostly managed with just a little encouragement.

ooh, I like those wooden models!
I'm reminded of a favorite science lesson taught by a favorite science teacher long ago. She started out with the sun on the black board and the other planets measured off on a smaller scale. Mercury was in the same class room, Venus down the hall, earth in the parking lot...by the time we reached Neptune we were a short distance from school in a field. It really left a lasting impression on the size of our solar system in my young mind.
Hope you all are happy & warm!
Those models are great aren't they!
