Aus Gov: we will increase the benefit for parents so they will pay less for childcare fees. Email from OOSH today. We are increasing our fees online with the increased benefits due to the cost of living and award wage rises 😠

Today I learnt that the Christmas Carol ‘Silent Night’ is actually written about the aftermath of a volcanic eruption that caused a climatic shift. I can’t stop thinking about it. This is where Geography, Science, History and even Music go cross curricula.

I’m currently reading a children’s book written in 1971. I started reading it to my son, but had to keep changing what I was saying as the language is not how we speak anymore. The story is wonderful still, but the language has not aged well.

The year was 2012 and I was excited about emojis now being ‘a thing’ who also remembers having to install them?

This is my yearly Valentine’s Day post. If you usually get roses can I suggest you request native blooms. Our native flora and fauna needs a boost, so hopefully when you chuck the flowers in the bin or compost them, more natives will grow thus supporting our ecosystem.

My son discovered he could do this last week. I had to ask the science teacher to explain why this happened and to make sure he was not going to blow up the house somehow.

For those of you doing your #backtoschool shopping at OfficeWorks. Please look at the individual v packaged prices for items Commonly the individual prices are much cheaper. This is just one example from today. All up I had to buy 10. $14.90 or $33.96 if not paying attention

I have thought of this comic for a year. I’ve researched other ‘orphaned plant species’ that exist due to the demise of their pollinator Considering the rate of extinction we have created since invasion I wonder what Australian flora has become orphaned imgs.xkcd.com/comics/bee_orc…

The crystal tree my eldest got for Xmas this morning. We didn’t get it all as the phone ran out of battery, but I think it’s about 4 hours growth. So pretty

Stark contrast from this morning. This is why you don’t just dive into the water on beaches you don’t know. This morning I was standing on these rocks, the water was waist height on me. The wave peak in the first picture is where the rocks start.

I'm teaching game design and development next year with 14/15 year olds. We're starting with board games. What board games would you recommend for kids who might never have played anything other than what you can get at kmart?
