Babel School in Taiwan

After 3 looong months of learning, reading, researching, writing about dinosaurs Jas' BIG project is finally finished!  You can read about the materials and books we used in this post .  In April Jas has already finished a part of the project - the dinosaur mural - you can see his post with photos of the mural on his blog . Jas with his dinosaur folder I prepared template for Jas to fill in with information about different dinosaurs. Jas wrote information about 33 different dinosaurs. Incorporating a bit of math into the project   Jas also solved some dinosaur word puzzles.  

For the past few weeks Jas has been learning about dinosaurs. It's not my favourite subject and I've never 'done dinosaurs' with Zosia as she was not interested in them either. It seems like those big reptiles appeal more to boys than to girls. Here are the books about dinosaurs and fossils that we are reading now: As all DK books, this one is also full of wonderful illustrations. I don't agree with everything that's written in this book, but it gives a good starting point for the discussion on creationism vs evolution. And something in Chinese :-) I bought this workbook a few years ago for Zosia, but she wasn't too interested in it so now Jas is using it. Jas is also enjoying watching the BBC series "Walking with Dinosaurs": as well as doing activites from DK Dinosaur Activity Pack: Few more weeks and we will be all done!
