Introducing Abby

Abby is the newest member of the family so to say. She is the horse we have been leasing and taking lessons on. She had done amazing things for the kids.  Mr.W is trotting willingly on his own, and Mr. G, is riding free as well.  Miss M, has upped her game and is working on a very confident lope or canter.  We can't forget Little A, she is practicing her  trick riding. Look no hands.

Kub Kar Time 2016

This year Mr W. wanted to make a TRUCK with a functioning tailgate. I informed him that, that might not be the fastest design, but if that's what he wanted the by all means go ahead.  Turns out I was wrong because he got 1st place this year.
 Mr. W and Miss M made a car of their own this year too.

The kids made cupcakes to share with the neighbourhood kids.

Outrun A Dino

 The Mystery Science experiment today was to see if the kids could outrun a dinosaur that was approximately the same size as they were. The conclusion was that they all had large enough steps to out run this particular dinosaur except little Miss A.

 

Skate Park

Science today was a little unconventional. You don't always have to be in a classroom to learn about simple machines. The kids had a blast experimenting with WHEELS, and INCLINED PLANES(RAMPS).  The weather wasn't the warmest, but that never stopped the kids from enjoying the skate park. Getting outside and enjoying the earth under your feet always make us feel better.  They would be here ever day if we lived closer.

Direction Sign Posts

Today is another Mystery Science Experiment/Activity. The kids have had a great time with this new resource. It is turning into one of our favourite science go to's.  

This activity was to make a sign post with the 4 directions.

Moon Phase

This is a little experiment we did to help us understand the phases of the moon, and why we see them. This was an experiment from Mystery Science.  The video didn't work out the greatest, but the little raCOONs had a blast doing it.
