A journal of our homeschool days. Monday, August 24, 2009. While working on our Miquon labsheets . . . Me: Er. three-sixth? Can that be simplified? B: Hmm. oh yes! B: I mean half.

Rumphius Romp: Light (part 2)
http://rumphiusromp.blogspot.com/2009/09/light-part-2.html
A journal of our homeschool days. Saturday, September 19, 2009. Here are two optical instruments we made while we were on the topic of "Light". This is our periscope made by cutting and re-shaping a cereal box. It was painted white so it will camouflage with our white walls. ;-). I found a place that sold little pieces of mirror quite by accident! This is an example of what we looked at. And the inverted image on the screen (made of tracing paper). Use a big tin if possible. Related post : - Light. 2 a w...

Rumphius Romp: July 2009
http://rumphiusromp.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
A journal of our homeschool days. Tuesday, July 21, 2009. I am always spellbound by the beauty of God's art work. Just look at how he paints the sky! This picture is taken from our window. Here are my boys' attempt at capturing some of such brilliance. We used a mixtures of 3 different techniques:. Wet wash and blending. Clouds are white and left unpainted. Cloud rounded on the top and flatten underneath. Clouds nearer the horizon are thinner. 3 Stratus Cumulus / Cirrus Clouds. Sunday, July 12, 2009.

Rumphius Romp: Why the long silence?
http://rumphiusromp.blogspot.com/2009/09/why-long-silence.html
A journal of our homeschool days. Tuesday, September 8, 2009. Why the long silence? I have been having a lot of trouble with blogger for the pass few months. Every time, it is a different problem. Much frustration has caused me to leave blogging for a while. That did free me to do other things (so that is good). and after that, I kind of lost momentum. . . ;-b. September 10, 2009 at 8:42 AM. I have missed your blogs! Good to know you are back in action. Good to know you are doing alright, too. Famous Men...

Rumphius Romp: Chinese Booklist
http://rumphiusromp.blogspot.com/2009/07/chinese-booklist.html
A journal of our homeschool days. Sunday, July 12, 2009. I benefited from the Chinese book list posted by a fellow homeschooling mother in her blog. I had checked out some of her books and really liked them. So I thought it would be useful to list here, some of the Chinese picture books we have enjoyed recently. They might not be hot from the press, just what caught our eyes: [library reference code]. 五个小怪物 [JP DYE] -. 在森林里[JP ETS] - translated from In The Forrest. By Marie Hall Ets. Deep, if Grandma had...

Rumphius Romp: Chemistry Week - Laboratory Experience
http://rumphiusromp.blogspot.com/2009/06/chemistry-week-labarotory-experience.html
A journal of our homeschool days. Wednesday, June 24, 2009. Chemistry Week - Laboratory Experience. We attended a series of laboratory sessions at the Singapore Science Centre during their Chemistry Week. Most of the workshops used concepts in Chemistry learnt at the Secondary 3/4 level. Of course, my 8 year-olds don't get it all! But they had fun just "playing" with the apparatus. ;-). For the sake of future reference, I will go ahead with noting down the specifics of what was done. What we did :-.

Rumphius Romp: December 2009
http://rumphiusromp.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
A journal of our homeschool days. Monday, December 14, 2009. Write with Primary Terms. Michael Clay Thompson is the author of a fabulous but unconventional Language Arts program. He made a few interesting points in this video on vocabulary and writing. I have always taught my boys to add adjectives and adverbs to their sentences when writing. So what Thompson had to say about these was quite a revelation to me. Well, can you tell I am not a language expert at all? If you see an adjective, kill it. I home...
