Providential History: July 2007
http://providentialhistory.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 28, 2007. X-Ray Painting and Bark Art. The last study we did was on what is termed "X-ray painting." Animals and people were painted on various surfaces in amazing detail, but seemingly from the inside out. We started by looking at all the photographs of fossilized fishes at Photo. It was a mini-science lesson as the children looked at the impressions these ancient fishes made on the rock. We then looked at this piece of art. The Metropolitan Museum of Art. And Aboriginal Art Online. What ...

Saturday, June 23, 2007. Individuality and the Emu. For this lesson, we started with one of my children's favorite songs, Old Man Emu. By John Williamson, a popular folk artist:. At the end, Williamson sings,. Well there is a moral to this ditty - Oom ba da little da da da. Thrush can sing but he ain't pretty - Oom ba da little da da. Duck can swim, but he can't sing, nor can the eagle on the wing. Emu can't fly, but I'm telling you, he can run the pants off a kangaroo. We will be studying more about the...

Monday, June 11, 2007. Australia - Land Down Under. We began by reading Esther, chapter 6. Because we are looking specifically at the purpose of studying history, we copied a portion of Esther 6:1.

To search or examine with continued care; to seek diligently for the truth. By Men At Work. An Australian band that was quite popular in the 80s. (The l...

Providential History: September 2007
http://providentialhistory.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 27, 2007. Winston Churchill is said to have described the tradition of the Royal British Navy as nothing but "rum, buggery and the lash." Whether factual or modern fable, the description is certainly applicable to the character of the officers in charge of the convicts who first came to Australia. We began this unit looking at a ballad written by a convict, possibly at the time of Captain Logan's death which this ballad celebrates. The text of the ballad is available here. Because Aus...
