Teddy-Bear's Picnic

Charizard, Pikachu and Jigglepuff were all at home together today. We started with Fun with Fractions, on Time4Learning. Charizard worked calmly and with discipline, it was a real pleasure teaching him Maths today. When Pikachu got upset, we watched our first two videos on The Happy Scientist (Charizard has been complaining that he didn't get taught enough science at school). I don't think anyone could hear much of the first one because Pikachu was laughing too much! but the second one was about invisible forces of nature and how you can move a piece of paper inside a jar, like magic! Then we dressed up our teddybears and headed out to the Teddy Bear's Picnic at the Wilson Home. It was wonderful to see the two boys running around having fun, and there was a puppet show where they got to try moving puppets around and making them dance. Charizard's puppet seemed to want to jump more than remain on the ground...Then we came home and whilst Jigglepuff and Pikachu had wa moenga, Charizard listened to an audiotape of The Midnight Folk. He is recounting the story very well.

At bedtime Charizard showed Jigglepuff a mixture of two shampoos he had made, we talked about how they were like viscous liquids (like the molten rocks flowing under the earth) and he asked if we could do some home experiments like that. Then we listened to "Rivers of Babylon" on YouTube and discussed how Charizard thinks God might have allowed the Jews to go into exile in Babylon so that they could learn to pray in a different way, without the Temple sacrifices. This is a very interesting point of view and many Christian scholars have thought this over the years, what a great student of the Bible Charizard is!

Jigglepuff's favourite bit of the day was....watching Charizard and Pikachu playing with puppets (and seeing Pikachu laugh at the naughty puppets)
Charizard's favourite bit of the day was...eating pizza and listening to The Midnight Folk.
