Today we focused mainly on Geography topics
China - we looked at what various children's lives were like living in different parts of China. It featured lots of magnificent scenery, and one little girl was shown painting the mountains, so I thought I would set the art and craft table up for J to follow suit.
He did however, end up drawing lots of comic strip type villains alongside his brother. (They were very good though).
We then went back to the soil experiment from yesterday, looking at the different layers and discussing what these layers were made up of. We also mixed compost and water together to see the difference, which resulted in the compost floating at the top, which was the opposite to the soil. We then took a small sample of soil to look at under the microscope

In the afternoon, once M was home from work we went Geocaching for the first time and found 3 out of 5 caches which wasn't bad for our first attempt. Using the Geocaching app on my phone, J was able to use the local map to pinpoint the cache. It is aimed at adults but there are quite a few all over Devon and beyond that children can do. The one shown below though was a bit too high for J and he had to go on his Dads shoulders to reach the cache.
Also throughout the day he has been on and off on Minecraft, building a house.
Tomorrow, hoping for nice weather, maybe go to the allotment, play some maths games out in the garden and get round to doing the handwriting practice that we didn't get to do today.
