dinosaurs before breakfast - we identified Tilda's plastic dino as a Spinosaurus using our dinosaur atlas. We had discussions about carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, defense mechanisms, anatomy, archaeology, evolution.
After breakfast we took a broken keyring apart and fixed it - discussing the electronic components.
At lunchtime we learnt in detail the pure chemistry that is bacon and tinned tomato, with a sideline of protein and what you need it for.
This afternoon, we went with Nyree, Lee and the kids to Attenborough where we got very wet, I ran to the cafe - something I've not done for a long time! There was duck/goose/swan feeding, tree climbing and more running. An insect book was bought and studied.
After dinner we read Now we are Six, then did some of the Maths problem solving workbook.
Now the kids are off to bed - Tilda listening to Harry Potter on her ipod.
The vast majority of what was learned today was initiated by Tilda. Questions were answered as and when they came up, and they came up a lot! You definitely don't need to be in school to learn!
Here's a quick pic of Winnie practising her walking at Attenborough.
