Summer months...

Summer months leave little time for blogging, but here are some things we have been learning lately.
We went on a biblical fossil hunt at Kilve beach, organised by a home schooling mum. We learned some really interesting things, and found some ammonites. A lot of the information was from a geologist who is involved with Answers in Genesis. We followed on this theme at home, by watching a video from Mystery Science (a really cool science curriculum, check it out), and we are reading a very interesting book about Dinosaurs and the bible. We also took some of the rocks home from Kilve and painted them. Apparently, this is a fire spirit!



 
We have been to some fun science classes, where they learned about muscles and one where they did some cool 'dangerous' experiments!
 

 
Strawberry/raspberry/redcurrant picking...
 

 
....And allotmenting, all with the help of our friend Rio!


 
A day trip to Puxton Park with Acey, Rio and Dylan..
 

 
 An interesting, fun Olympic themed home ed day at the lovely Caroline's house where we learned about the Olympics, where it originated etc, and what sports they hold. Acey found it fascinating that they have a Paralympics too. He made 'Hera's honey cupcakes', did an Olympic questionnaire and some Olympic ring art... 
 

 
Fun in Great Wood with the Bridgwater home ed group...
 
 
Tennis lessons every Friday with their wonderful coach, Mr Drew...
 
 
And we had a lovely long sunny week in Cornwall, spending lots of time on the beach, and pedal boating at Helston Boating pool...
 


 
 
Oh, and Acey turned TEN!! We love Summer, and don't want it to end!
