Secret Colours

Today we should have been going to our weekly sports group. However, instead we have been traped inside waiting for a delivery... *sigh*

Wiyot has been keeping himself busy with his new passion for all things dinosaur, which is all because we watched Jurassic Park the other day... and people criticise kids watching TV ;) Today he has made his own dino scene out of card board. Complete with incoming asteroid, as well as a seperate dino inards piece for when the T-Rex catches one of the other dinosaurs! :/

Here he is colouring in the scene. In the background you can see Shoshone has built various scenes with the Jenga blocks. :)

And the finished scene. :)

He also got out his experiment book and chose an experiment to do. Today we did secret colours. Very simple, but good fun. All you need is some filter paper, coloured water based markers, and water. 

I dicided to print out some science experiment worksheets I found online. Wiyot loves all things science, so thought it might be a good time to begin introducing him to the scientific method. :)

Here they have numbered their papers and are colouring a dot in the centre.

These are the colours Wiyot chose. We did four at first and then hunted dow extra black markers to see the difference. 

Wiyots results. The two extra black markers hadn't finished doing their thing yet.

Shoshone's colours (sorry its upside down, I will try to rotate it when I get on the PC)

Shoshone dripping water onto her alternative black marker. :)

Wiyots finished paper, the filters just need sticking down. He's drawn his various made up characters around the boarder.

Shoshone's results, she still needs to do the writing bits. Drawing in the margins is apparently way more fun! :) Shoshone has drawn the Team Titans characters. :)
