Hogwarts School

Noah is at Hogwarts School right now. They will have to go before the Sorting Hat to find out which house they belong to. I glanced at the schedule and they will be having these classes; Taking care of mystical creatures. O.W.L.S, Defence against the dark arts, spells, they will play a game of Quidditch and a few other classes.

Oh yes, they've been warned a dementor is loose in the house. They cannot loose their heads, when the dementor shows up they must have their wands ready. That's kind of creepy! We'll be seeing the new movie tomorrow.

Hogwarts/Dodge Turner House.

Noah is sitting on the bench. Before I was finished checking him in, he was chatting away with two boys like they were old friends... I'm happy he makes friends so easily.

Hogwarts...and a Waterwheel

Hogwarts Summer School Project/ Troll Boogers

We've been so busy lately that we haven't had much time for homeschooling projects. Now that we are back from camping and the 4th is past we will have more time.
We decided to work on some long division... Noah loving that...not!
So I thought we'd better do so fun projects too. For our Hogwarts Summer School Noah mixed a batch of Troll boogers. What use is there for troll boogers? I'll never know.

Water Energy

Then Noah constructed a waterwheel. He loves history and has been really interested in mills and waterwheels lately.
We gathered up some supplies; a cardboard tube, a wood dowel, duct tape, paper plates, and some twine. Noah worked out his plan for the waterwheel.

It spun like crazy (I couldn't get a photo because I had to hold the hose while he held the dowel still.) until the paper plate flaps had gotten too soaked and started to fall apart. Noah discovered that waterwheels really need to be waterproof! We should of duct taped the entire surface of the water flaps to seal them. Ah... live and learn. I told Noah if we already knew everything there would be no sense in doing anything.

Experimentation!
