Why is our Vitamin C salty?

Why is a Christian called a Christian?

How does that rough bit on the matchbox make the match light?

How was this rug made?

Where do the pegs belong (ok that that was a husband question - not enough clothes washing done by him I suspect!)?

Today we had a discussion about different gasses (including what things require gas to work) and how certain processes convert the gasses - ie breathing or plant photosynthesis.

We also explored our own bookshelves and discovered some books that contained further information about Native Americans and Egyptians.

It was discovered if you make chocolate ice blocks using your chocolate milk tipped into a teaspoon and frozen that your lip will stick to it.

The kids wanted to play "school" again today and asked me, as their teacher what they would learn. Wondering if they actually wanted me to come up with plans for learning on a more permanent basis I asked Nathan and he replied "no! we're just playing a game!". LOL. He wanted to write down lower case and upper case letters - since this is something he's been doing for a long time I asked him if he wanted to learn another style of writing? So I showed him what cursive writing was and he copied them out next to the printed letters. I then wrote a sentence in cursive (the old quick brown fox...) and he was able to pick out of the letters (I did need to google afterwards to check that I had shown him the correct formation of some of the fancier ones since I was going from memory from almost 30yrs ago when I learnt them!). I tend to write in a half/half printing-cursive these days.
