Sept Wk 3 - New drama, science and lots of walks!

I tried a Home Education drama group which was really fun. My best friend E was there. We did all about animals and had to act like the animals. I was a cat and a show off. We had to do a little play about it. It was quite far away though so I'm not sure if we will go back especially as Mum thought we should survive with one car and now that car has broken down. :-(

I did a lot of science as we worked through a book in the library on materials, evaporation, condensation, melting and solidifying. We also finished going through a book at home on cogs and wheels, friction and pulleys.  We made our own cogs:-

I also revised the part of the body from a kit we had from the British Heart Foundation.

 

Here is my drawing of a heart which I am proud of.

We also did a lot of walking as my sister is refusing to go to school by bus, we don't have a car all the time (especially now it's not working) and my Mum won't let her walk all the way home on her own.  Most of the walk is through the fields and its very long but there are a lot of blackberry bushes so it's not too bad.

Look at all these blackberry bushes - yummy!

More blackberries and these are really large.

Walking...

More walking...

Resting from walking....

More walking....

 

More walking....

More walking... further to go yet and I can't do any more! That day, we had to walk there and back twice too. Even the dogs were tired at the end.

Here are some of the plants we found on the long walk. 

Herb Robert

Common Mallow

Shepherd's purse - my favourite. Look at the heart shaped leaves!

Cow Parsley

Common Ragwort

Gorse
 

 Fern

Bindweed

I also found some pottery bits like I usually do on a walk.

There was also a massive Fungus that was larger than our biggest pan!

I am trying to go on Wii Fit for 30 minutes a day. I am really good at the cycling one and keep unlocking new levels. I also did some netball. I am getting quite good at getting it in the net....

 

We haven't finished building the dolls house yet, but I am playing with it anyway.

I started learning about the middle ages, castles and knights as we've quite a few books on this subject. My Dad is an archeologist and loves history so he will be pleased.

 Tonight it's drama. I can't wait! Oh, but first there is another walk...

What a busy week it's been. :-)
