The older girls started the day with a continuation of our rock studies (the younger ones did try to join in - I think the allure of files, streak plates and nails got to them) we started by recapping the ways we can identify rocks (Mohs, luster, cleavage etc.) then they were presented with the 'Rock Detective Tray', this contained everything they need to identify the rocks (the dropper contains vinegar as I don't quiet trust them with acid just yet)
We spent the afternoon playing dress up (I am soooo regretting all the money I previously spent on Disney dresses) it started when the girls discovered a box of scarves and fabric in my room and decided to dress up as some of the historical princess we had studied.
DD6 opted for China
