Yesterday the boys did chromatography experiments with the chemistry set. Well, R did most of it really, and J videoed it.Today has gone well educationally, alhamdulillah.
We began by reading a book I recently got from the Book People called "Archeology Detectives". Ia listened too. It is so interesting to note the recurring theme in these buried civilizations, their idol worship. SubhanAllah. Makes a good talking point.
We finished "There's No Escape" yesterday, I would recommend it as a good adventure read.
The boys and Ia all got through routine maths, English and other daily work in the morning. Today we did the maths mentally, without bothering to write down the answers, as today's lesson was very easy (what is one seventh of......etc).
Then the boys drew detailed maps of an imaginary place. They do this from time to time. They made a key, and indicated different types of land use as well as major features. They didn't want me to put photos on the blog, although it was very neatly presented!
After that they were googling for further information on some planes they have read about in one of their books.
Meanwhile Ia finished off some work for her About Me lapbook, and measured things in handspans and then in mega bloks.
In the afternoon the boys did the next history page in their Prophet Musa (as) notebooks. Right now they have all gone off to play something together.
Alhamdulillah.
