"Choose your Adventure" Morning.

CoolDude and WizzKid love the "Choose your Adventure " projects from Sonlight Core 5. We have been learning about China and Marcia's kids have been doing a section on Japan and Korea. A couple of Fridays ago we all got together and each child did a presentation and a short talk on the project they had chosen.

Keagan made a stunning Korean rice dish .......

Which was delicious! All seemed to manage well with the chopsticks ........

except for WizzKid ...... who mastered the art of shoveling !!

CoolDude did a brilliant job of writing a Bible verse (Psalm 91. v4) in the Chinese characters.

We all got to make origami cranes. According to legend once you have made your one thousandth crane, you get a special wish.

....... only 994 left to make ....... hek no !


Chiara created a very interesting travel brochure for Korea as well as a beautiful collage on Bonsai's. WizzKid did a talk on Confucius and debated on some of his famous sayings, using the Bible as the plumb line. Very enlightening indeed !
We shared many a laugh ( Marcia, I'll never forget what you accidentally said!!) and we learnt a lot about the three different cultures.

It was a successful morning!

Do you remember what the Korea noodles were called? ANd, shoveling noodles is completely appropriate for that dish! :)

That's so fun! Is that an idea from Sonlight? I'm convinced I'm using Sonlight next year for grade 4.

We just finished China. Loved it. We are in Antarctica, almost on our way to England. Sounds like we do a lot on the same lines with some of the stuff. My kids love it. Lots of fun, especially if there is another family sharing the fun.
