What Home Education looks Like - 28th April 2014

Tons of stuff going on with our seeds! We took the paper off the "under the ground" potato project to see the spindly roots filling the pot.....

We also received some surprise poppy seeds from the Royal British Legion, which we have planted out the back.

Our tomato seedlings are growing very well in our sunny front window and may be strong enough to plant out soon.

Finally our beans are doing marvellously.... although one seems to be an overachiever!

On Thursday we went to the new Olympic Park on the site where the Olympics were held in 2012. The park is just huge and still has the Olympic pool!

The kids were very excited as they spotted the building sued as the exterior for Hank Zipzer's flat in the tv series. They love that show!

We explored the whole park; Povey loved the Helter Skelter and the water play.

Papaya liked the Ewok-style climbing frame and swings.

As well as the potato project we're also excited to be taking part in a "Bees and beans" project this year too! 8 of our beans sprouted (we need 4 for the project) and are now growing nicely on our windowsill in the sunshine.

We've started them in these little fibre pots and will then plant those within the pots that have been provided. Very interested to see how this project develops.

Tuesday we went to Lego Mania at Milestones Museum! It was brilliant as it is every year!

The big project from Bright Bricks this year is a giant Mammoth.....

This involves building big brown bricks out of little brown bricks. Sounds mind-numbing to me, but Povey was just in his element building brick after brick. He was even singing "Everything is awesome" to himself as he worked ;)

We'll be back there again before Lego Mania is over!
