Mega Catch Up



About 4 weeks ago I went to a home ed event and we learnt to make giant dream catchers.
It was quite hard and fiddly but I am pleased with the one I made. It hangs over my head in my bedroom and has only fell on me twice. I dont have nightmares so I dont know if it works.

This week we went to a National Forest to learn about birds and trees. The other kids were really noise so most of the birds were sensible and hid. The man tried to teach us about trees...it was boring.

We escaped and went and had a look around. This is the view from the lake.



It was freezing and very windy.


We all found a friend to play with and we all took turns threw sticks in the water for him to catch. Here is the main attraction.



On our way home we took some pictures of a state we often drive past. I forgot to take one of the men (my camera was on the wrong setting).but here is the writing and the details.


It is basically to help people to remember the Irish men who died in 1916.


Today we learnt that in Japan it is 'Girl's Day'


We made some origami dolls and some orimgami Whales. (the dolls were a bit girly but fun when they were finished.
