Tania and Julian built a building out of the wooden blocks on the Crank a Quake table when Julian’s home school provider had a field trip at the Science Centrum almost a month ago. Then they moved the wooden table top to watch the blocks tumble down like there is an earthquake. Of course I had to explain that an earthquake is not that fun at all.

That is Tania, with her freely flying kite. This was when we went to the 12th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta. We have posts about that here and here.

A narrow, triangular tunnel with mirrors on all three sides. On one end is a myriad of colors that appear like kaleidoscope when the handle is turned on the end where child can look inside. Wonderful colors it create. The children enjoyed looking at these colors during their Field Trip at the Science Centrum last January 24, 2008.

Science Centrum Field Trip

The son wrote this post (with help on the first 2/3 parts of the paragraph, specifically with the subject-verb agreement) for his homeschool provider’s newsletter. Not sure if it will see print but I am posting the paragraph now.

Next post will be a repeat but will have the photos in his narration. He was able to write the paragraph with us looking at the photos I took.

I am JCF. I had lots of play activities. My first play was the planets. My weight in Jupiter is 45.1 kilograms. I saw my self in the mirror. My (younger) sister and I played on the bridge. We played bubbles. We watched the coin fall in the hole. We clapped in the echo tube. We played on the swing. Then we rode on the bike with the skeleton. We played the electricity ball. Then in the shadow room my shadow was left on the wall. Then I had a colorful shadow. The steady hand game is really hard. I like the Magnetic Repulsion Game. The abacus is big. I enjoy going to the Science Centrum.

Every Saturday, participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday, January 26, 2008 is OLD-FASHIONED.

In this modern day and age, it is still important to have children play games that are fun, inexpensive and unplugged. Or in a few words: No Batteries Allowed.

Paper boats.

Objectives: paper folding involves following instructions and listening. Playing of paper boats include blowing to learn about wind as a force in making things move.
