Here Comes The Sun - 19 August 2010

A day of art and craft and learning about the sun & heat... The homeschool group came over to our home today and we had a great day of art & craft, cooking, science in the garden, using a sundial & watching a documentary on the sun. Then because it was such a lovely day lots of running around in the garden afterwards.

We made beautiful sun-catchers using beads and crystals.


We used black cardboard outlines and cellophane to create other sun-catchers to stick up on windows.






And because creativity requires a full stomach we all made home made pizza's from scratch.

Let them eat cake....

Home economics the home school way!



Pernella was very excited to make her very first cake all by herself ~
A chocolate one of course.
She did a wonderful job.



It turned into an impromptu maths lesson as we discussed weighing & measuring ingredients, temperatures and time.



Time in not how long the cake took to bake but how quickly they ate it.
