Random thoughts

Since we're completely obsessed by the movie Frozen at the moment, I thought I'd use the opportunity to introduce some science of water. We're looking at ice, how water freezes, how ice melts and the effects of salt. Fun homeschooling! Particularly amusing for me to watch the kids build ice igloos in the tropical sun...

Nature appreciation for homeschool this morning. So much fun to have all three kids together.

What a great day! Cool presents, pancakes for breakfast, a walk to the park, a long sleep, a long swim, playdate with old friends and Nutella cheesecake. What more could a one year old ask for?

Bunny ear tiaras and golgotha models.

Today we start home schooling in ernest, both girls are now enrolled in the school of mum. Let the fun begin! As you may notice, I have made a rule that clothes must be worn at school, a bit of a change from the normal mdc (minimum dress code) of undies - ah the joys of living in the tropics.

Today we have managed a trip to port of lost wonder (pirate themed water play place), and I've planned home schooling for next week. Now we're chilling by the pool.

Holding Sophie's hamster.

Inspired by a book she read, Pippa has instigated a horse making and riding activity with Tasha. I love how these two play together.

After last year's slightly disastrous egg boiling and dying. This year I've gone for the egg blowing tactic. They look better already!

We met with a group of homeschoolers to study leaves on the canopy walk along the southern ridges. Beautiful sunny day, much fun was had by all and we all made some new friends.

A quick trip to Ya kun kaya toast before we go grocery shopping. Both the girls are dressed as pirates having been inspired by a book that Pippa read yesterday.

Ready for Paul's annual 'Mafia' birthday party.

Having just organised the study into my new home schooling room, the girls decided they wanted to have a go!

Last day of term and we're sending in a little home made chocolate cake. Can't quite believe that this is the start of homeschooling!

Break time today and we are taking a little walk to the park. Tasha picked up basic addition so well I thought she'd done it before but she says not. Here's our attempt at a selfie on the rocker at the playground.

Today we've had croissants at the beach, seen gardens by the Bay and marina barrage. And it's not yet midday.
