Abi's Adventures

My home education journey

  • Maths Tests

    I have now started doing additions with halves. On a calculator 0.5 is a half. On paper 1/2 is a half.

  • Recent Exercise

    – Parkour

    – Kayaking

    – Bouncy castles at Ysgol Bro Teifi

  • Absorbency Experiment

    Today I learnt about absorbency.

    We put a clean nappy and a flannel in a bowl of water.

    Observations:

    • The nappy swelled up
    • The nappy become very heavy
    • When we lifted both items out of the bowl lots of water came out of the flannel straight away but the nappy only realised a few drops.

  • Recent arts & crafts

  • Lego parrot

    I designed and made an african grey parrot from lego, without any help and it has moving wings.

  • Recent Maths Tests

    Most days I do a quick maths test including addition, subtraction and multiplication.

  • Condensed Milk Cookies

    Mummy had a tin of condensed milk that needed using up, so we looked online and found a simple cookie recipe.

    We softened one pack of butter, beat it until creamy and then added the condensed milk and a teaspoon of vanilla extract.

    We stirred everything together and gradually added 400g of plain flour and stirred really well.

    Next we rolled walnut sized balls in the palms of our hands and pressed them onto a baking tray.

    We baked them in the oven for 20 minutes at 180 degrees.

    Once they had cooled I decorated them with icing pens.

  • Dinosaur Lego

    I made a Stegosaurus, a Brachiosaurus and a Triceratops from lego.

  • Parkour

    This afternoon I returned to Parkour for an hour of fun and exercise.

  • Abi’s Cook Book

    With mummy’s help I am making my own fun cook book. I have been inspired by Roald Dahl to make up my own descriptive words and crazy recipes.

    Today we started the project so I choose a folder and designed my front cover and write my first recipe.

    My book is called Abi’s Pretrendous Cook Book. I drew and fork and spoon for the cover artwork.
