Story: Robot Vacuum

The robot vacuum is really neat!
The robot vacuum sucks up bits.
If a red light flashes on the vacuum it means that we have to charge its batteries at its home.
The lighthouse blocks the robot vacuum from going anywhere else.
If the green light flashes on the lighthouse that means that the battery is running out.
Under the robot vacuum there is a little spinner that picks up the bits.
If the vacuum misses its home it tries again!

Science: Solids, Liquids and Gases (Part 2)

We put ice into a cup.
Ice is a solid.
We put the cup into hot water.
The ice cubes melted away.
They became water.
Water is a liquid.
We put the water in a pan on the stove.
The water went away.
It became a gas.
The stove is hot.
Heat made the liquid change to a different state of matter.
We also put water in the freezer and it turned into an ice cube.
Cold changed a liquid to a solid.

Science: Solids, Liquids and Gases (Part 1)

Everything is made of matter.

The three states of matter are: liquid, solid and gas.
Examples of solids: wood, blocks, bricks, stones, LEGOs, tables, trees.
Examples of liquids: water, juice.
Examples of gases: air, tooting, steam.
Salt is a solid but it flows like liquid.

Science: Organizing Things into Categories

Organizing means sorting.
Category means group.
We looked at the cutlery drawer.
It had different things in it.
We organized the cutlery into the right places.
These places are called categories.

We organized buttons by sorting them.
We sorted them by size.
We sorted them by colour.
We sorted them by number of holes.
We sorted them by leather, metal, plastic, bone, stone.
We played a memory game.
We organized the things on the tray into categories.
Then it was easier to remember the stickers, pencil crayons, crayons and LEGOs.

Story: Grana and Papa's Party

I played in my playroom.

I played pachinko.

I played with the money machines.

Then I played pachinko again.

But it all worked out fine.

We ate chocolate peanut butter circles.

I played with my cars.

I ate a fruit salad.

It had baby oranges in it.

It had grapes in it.

I watched the cars go by.

I went home in the dark.
