Science & Technology: Observation and Report
☑ Waratah chose to collect all the different grasses that grow in our front yard and put them in a book. He was particularly pleased to find an ear of wheat which had sprouted from some dropped birdseed, so he illustrated this with a photo and feather from our pet corrella and a photo of one of our roosters (both of whom eat wheat). This project also involved voluntary handwriting practice.
