Feb 10th: A cool (15 degrees) day with drizzle all day. We schooled all morning as usual. This week we are studying India and learnt to count to 10 in Hindi. We also have some plant experiments going on in kitchen cupboards and on windowsills. After lunch we walked to the library and came across another homeschool family there. We (I) staggered home with the usual 30 books or so to add to the dozens of library books we already have in the house. The boys and I visited Waimate Museum. The picture is of the main building, which used to be the Court House here. It's a 5 minute walk from our house, just behind the main street. As well as the main building (which had exhibitions on fishing and hunting, clocks, cameras, military things and telephones) there are also out-buildings which we will visit another day. There is an old police station, school-house and jail, which we all moved to this site when they were replaced. There are also sheds of farm machinery and wagons, fossils and bones, and lots more. It will keep us busy for many more visits, I'm sure.
