Art and Reflections...

Hey guys, 

Happy Tuesday! I only have two more days of school left of this term after today! What am I going to do with myself for two whole weeks?! Also do you guys think I should keep blogging over the holidays? Like maybe once or twice a week? Let me know in the comments. Anyway, here's my day...

8:15 Yoga - choose one of Adrienne’s beginner yoga sessions. 

Really try and listen and do the breathing etc. as she describes. Fall into the moment and enjoy the luxury of a peaceful, empty house!

9am Maths 45 minutes ; Times tables revision 3, 4, 6 and 7

10am Morning Tea

10:15 Art! The next lesson in the program

11:30 (ish) Journalling … write a short, reflective, informal paragraph about the origins of Yoga. Where does it originate? Why is it beneficial as a form of meditative exercise? How do you personally feel while doing yoga? Do you find it relaxing? Painful? Boring? Fun? Is it something you think you would like to wind into your life a bit more? 

12pm (ish) Lunch and break time

1pm Science - Design a small backyard garden for our family. Purchase a small raised garden bed, and design the planting. Think about what is seasonal at this time of year, in QLD. Look on the Gardening Australia website for this (there should be a tab for QLD), or a similar website.

Look at things such as greens (spinach, lettuce etc), herbs, flowers (all should be excellent companions for one another so keep this in mind), and maybe something extra such as grape tomatoes or cucumbers - something we eat regularly as a family. Space will be very limited, so we don’t want to overload the garden. 

Sketch the garden once a list of plants is compiled, think about what should be growing in the garden. Include the lists and reasoning etc. in the Science tab of One Note. Also look into things such as natural fertilisers, how to prepare the soil for planting, position of the garden (is morning or afternoon sun better in QLD?)

Finish for the day.

Art today was really fun, I used chalk on black construction paper. I've only ever drawn with oil pastels in this kind of artwork so it was a nice change. I drew a bridge at night over water. I really like how the reflection turned out.

QOTD is what is your favourite vegetable?? Mine are probably cucumbers and avocados. All the green food!
