Jan 16th: Another morning of schooling for the boys. Poor things - everyone else in NZ is on holiday until early February, but we are already two weeks back into our studies. This week we have been learning about China and have started a month's topic of plants and plant growth. We've been growing beans, peas and cress this week, comparing growth in sunlight, dark and the fridge. We've set our next experiment of cut-off tops of carrots in water. Peter made this simple car chassis with the K-nex with a motor and wanted this to be today's photo, so here it is. Today was over 30 degrees again but unusually it was very muggy. This evening we had our neighbours in for tea. It's their 50th wedding anniversary tomorrow. In the time it took to eat tea, the temperature dropped from 31 to 18 degrees. Unfortunately there was little wind so the house is still very hot. We're off again tomorrow for a few days so tune back in at the end of the weekend...
