18\03\2015: the greatest teacher

The last few days gave us proof once again that a book can't rule what a child should learn. Just living makes it clear about what we should talk and discuss and learn.
So on monday we found our ant nest and our Irish friend called and spoke about St.Patrick day and we read about the solar eclipse of the 20th of march. So here our tuesday morning ....



After reading and discussing about St.Patrick ( either the saint and the holiday ) and Ireland we all made this art progject  anout shamrocks.


Then we learned about the eclipses ( this is a book I made for my children few years ago, it's quite useful in many different areas )
 

... And about deep sleep

But then, yesterday night something unexpected and wonderful happened ...

 
Northern Lights ! We saw them for the first time. This is highly uncommon here in the south of Finland as it usually happens only above the artic circle. So this morning ...



Everybody happily dived in the astronomy, learning about the solar system, the northern light and many other things.

It is incredible how learning is easy if it is lead by life experiences.
