Wiped Out Wednesday

Busy day. One Wednesday a month we have multiple commitments but since they don't start until later I still try to get some work in here at home in the morning. Then there is the rush of getting out of the house on time at 11:00-ish. Well we made it anyway. We got in Spanish and a couple other things, did lunch then met our friends before mixed class day. Trevor stayed at our friends house with their teen boy to play video games as they are too old for the mixed classes (and Trevor wouldn't want to do them anyway). Kids played for a bit then off to the classes. This month in Mad Science the kids learned about physical and chemical changes and some things about elements. They did three experiments and got a game called Atomic Coins about the elements to bring home. I think they had fun.

For the animals class this time the theme was Australian animals. The kids learned about introduced species & the different areas of Australia and met Australian animals including a rabbit, an unusual frog, a type of parakeet, a large snake, a skink, a duck and a tarantula. I didn't get good photos of the animals this time, my battery was low and my camera won't zoom then.

Below my kids watch curiously to see which animal will come out next.

After mixed class day we had a cub scout meeting. The boys learned more about the Boy Scout Law, motto, etc. They will soon be crossing over to Boy scouts and must learn these things first if they want to earn the arrow of light award.

We got home about 5:30, had a quick supper and now the kids are playing until bedtime
