This is a very very funny book and silly too. It is about a big bad girl who bullies all the animals in the forest, and especially little red riding wolf.

Elephant sketch

I copied the elephant from the "I can draw animals" book. Mom helped me a little with the back leg (which I made too short), the ear (which I made too small), and the trunk (which I made too thin).

Christmas Gymnastics Display

First Night.

Our gymnastics teacher (who you can see upfront) is World Champion, Natalia Ilienko.

Mom apologizes for poor camera work - was trying to feed baby Ciara at the same time...

We will upload better video footage once the professional dvd of the night is released.

Second Night - Mom and Dad did not get such good seats on the second night, so the footage is taken from under a beam to the left of the floor, and Dad was interrupted by one of the officials during filming.

Science Experiment - Making rainbow sugar using evaporation

Mix sugar and water. Pour the water into plates, covered with foil. Add different colors to each plate. We used red and blue food colouring to make purple.
On the second day, some of the water had gone into the air. The water on the plate was less, and was quite syrupy.
On the fourth day, only a little bit of water was left and there was sugar left on the plate. The sugar cannot evaporate, only the water can evaporate.


When all the water had evaporated, the sugar was dry and we put it on a plate and we made coloured sugar. - Niamh

Science Experiment - Finding out how much air is in our lungs

First we filled a bottle with water, and put some water in a bowl. Then we turned the bottle upside down, and put a piece of pipe into the bottle.

Here I blew through the pipe until all the air was out of my lungs.

The air pushed all the water out into the bowl. The air in the bottle is all my air from my lungs.

My Wedding

This drawing is a picture of my wedding. The girls dancing are Niamh, Bethy and Simone. The people in the background are all the guests.

Cursive Handwriting

I have been asking mommy to teach me cursive writing, and we have finally got there in our handwriting book.

Science Experiment - Evaporation

First we put water on the two cloths, and then we left them out to dry. One was on a plate and one was in a packet. Two days later we went to see what the cloths felt like. The one on the plate got dry, and the other one stayed wet. The water from the cloth on the plate went into the air, but the water from the cloth stayed in the packet and could not get dry. That is called evaporation. - Niamh

Eden's Chocolate Recipe

This picture is of me making my new chocolate recipe.

This is the recipe for my new chocolate which I have called "Cochoc".

Break the chocolate and put it on the lid to melt. (Put hot water under and a lid on top).

Add M&M's and butter toffees.

Mix it all together.

Put it in ice trays and put it in the fridge.

Science Experiment - Dried Food

The bread on the left has been dried, and the bread on the right was not dried.
We left both pieces of bread in plastic bags for a few days. The bread that was not dried went rotten and grew mold. Explorers take dried food so that their food does not get moldy.

Rat Sketch

This picture comes from the book, "The Pied Piper of Hamelin"

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

We went to watch a homeschool drama group do this play - it was a very very good play. My favourite song was this one - The Benjamin Calypso Song.
