I am Never Not Ever doing a Project on Space

February 6th, 2007 by Sarah

Said in a very Lola voice ;) Joe is still maintaining that he doesn’t want to do a project but he’s really enjoying learning stuff!

Today was slightly less frantic, but not a lot! We started off getting violin, maths and music theory out of the way first thing, and then went for a trip into town. We had some leftover book tokens and vouchers for Christmas so decided to use those to facilitate our project – found some nice books in The Works and a cool looking space model kit as well, even though we are NOT doing a project on Space.

Went home via the garage where we picked up the trimmer and laminator to make these Solar System info/game cards, and trimming/laminating was a huge hit, as was the game that followed. The down side was that we also found out that we needed to cover the garage this afternoon so we’re now sitting here wasting time together (Joe on the Nasa Kids site and me blogging) while trying to hold the fort at work.

I wanted to get the compasses out to start drawing circles, as my friend Liz sent me a useful email last night, having just made a scale diagram of the solar system herself (details to follow when I actually manage to make it). Then realised I was scuppered as Josiah had removed the maths set from my bag just before we came out :roll: We amused ourselves reading the book we bought this morning instead, and then Joe did a solar system drawing which wasn’t exactly a work of art but did demonstrate that he’s already managed to learn the order of the planets and some of the important things about each one. He finished it off with a completely out of scale but still quite lovely picture of himself in a rainbow rocket exploring space, which we’re going to put on the front of our folder (not a project folder, obviously, as we’re NOT doing a project ;) ).

    I tried that thing with a scale model once, but couldn’t get pluto on it at all. But it’s been downgraded now, I think (!?!), so might be easier now. :-)

    yep Joyce, no need to worry about Pluto now, it doens’t count any more! After finding all the stuff do dot do a project here we really aren’t doing it… in fact I have declared this week a dead loss and I’ll try again on Monday!

    We are planning a big space project/ not project for next year/year after. I wnted to do it last year but no-one was up for it. I’m planning on using Apologia’s Exploring Creation with Astronomy – which is usable across the ages I’ll have (which will be 11, 9, 7, 6 & 4 by the year after next!!)

    Anyway – have lots of fun with your un-project!!

    While I’m here could you email me your ACWW friend code etc – I need to go exploring! I’ll send you mine in return :)
