Maths game

Zac and Holly playing a maths game that Holly made up for school.


Circuit for a brain break

Last month Holly made up a physical activity circuit for the three of them to do.  Was heaps of fun and a great brain break!  Here's a video.


Happy Claudia

Claudia's loving using the borrowed school laptop to make videos of herself.  We've watched this one over and over, and it's given us the giggles every time!


Online games

We've been doing a few online games with various family members during this isolation period.  Not quite the same as doing them in person, but nice to interact online in a different way to just talking.

Here's a photo of Code Names with Oma.  I haven't taken any other photos of online games yet, but I'm sure there'll be more chances.


March trip to Sydney

Some photos from our trip back in March.  Feels like a million years ago now.  Was just on the cusp of the world changing completely due to the pandemic.  Think it was probably the last weekend we could have done it.  So glad we could do it.

Learning at home

With everything going on in the world at the moment, it seemed like a good time to take up blogging again.  I don't know how long it will last, but I figured it would be good to have a record of what's going on at the moment for us.

Our learning at home journey started a week or so before it officially became a thing.  We came back from Sydney having been at Dad's 80th birthday, an event which we were all incredibly happy and thankful to be at....


... and we were a little sick.  Nothing major, just colds but that week the world was starting to change, and it seemed wise to stay away from school.  So we started doing some learning at home.  We made up our own daily schedule, picked some activities to do, and got on with it.  It was quite fun that week!


 All at the same table.


Zac doing art.
Claudia did her own made up science lesson (blending up all the green things she found in the yard!)

Holly replicated a science experiment they'd done at school the previous week.  Seeing which slice of bread grew mould the fastest (touched with - hands washed with soap, hands cleaned with hand sanitiser, a computer keyboard, dirty hands and a control slice).
