An afternoon scoot looking for conkers, leaves and acorns yesterday turned in to an outdoor spelling activity and an hour of learning about the planets in our solar system. I managed to get the first five planets in the right order when explaining their distance from the sun but sadly (and I hang my head in shame) this homeschooling dad had to turn to his old friend Google to fill in the blanks.
I somehow managed to leave the park without photographing Neptune, clearly that's the least important of the planets. Its a great touch having these educational extras on playgrounds, there was nothing like this when i was young. I'm wondering if the next step is pythagoras' Theorem next to the swing frame or π next to the round about? I'll need to sharpen up on that at some point though (I can't turn to Google for everything).
