Blind Art

Silas learning about Picasso.

Who needs to see?

Quiet... artist at work.

Perfect.

That will be $20,000 please!

Bowling

The home-school coop was able to get some bowling lessons for the kids.

This is "School"?

Looks pretty straight.

Good form.

Not a bad game (with gutter bumpers).

Lung Capacity

How big are our lungs?

Time for some science.

... from my favourite scientist, Silas.

Canberra

Canberra, the capitol city of Australia has some great museums.

Fancy historical items.

 Fun, hands-on exhibits.

Even stuff for mum!

Perhaps this is too much.

There was even a nice stick-bug on one of the benches.

Questacon

Questacon is a great kids science museum in Canberra.

So many fun things to do.

Silas' favourite is, of course, the construction area.

Abstract Art

Silas is learning about abstract art.

He started with a bit of black, but decided to start over.

The master piece is signed.

Now for the explanation.

Composting

Silas wanted to learn a bit about Composting.

So here he is at work.

Good job buddy!

Construction & Kiwi

Ok... Odd title.  I found this strange video where it starts of with Silas

in his construction gear helping with a project and quickly

jumps to a father son kiwi eating fest.

Too Much Fun at School

This is school!

It's great how Silas can be involved in these group school activities.

Hail Storm

Not a common site in Sydney.

Finger Prints

Dad gets to help with science class.

Today we are learning about finger prints!

A little dusting.

Transfer.

Document the chain of evidence.

Ready for CSI!

Bike - No Training Wheels

Here is Silas' first bike ride without training wheels!

First, remove the training wheels and get the tires repaired.

Next... We found a nice park with a slow sloping down hill on grass.
I figured it would be softer if he fell and would slow him down if he got out of control!

After about 30 minutes, he was doing great!

Fast forwarding 6 months....

More Magformers Masterpieces

Here are a couple more magformers creations.

Fireman Silas

Here is a short video showing Silas trying to be a fireman.

I hope he doesn't actually start any fires!
