1st Archery class. He loved it even though initially he complained about the dirt and mud (rained the night before). He spent 3 hours with fellow homeschoolers learning the techniques of shooting training arrows. His motor skill in this area a little weak I would say. :)
One of the owners of the archery club patiently teaching Reese the right way to hold the bow
It was fun. The kids practised in a big field and they get to shoot different targets. They have 3 instructors at hand to guide them

Learning Bahasa Malaysia
The boy has started learning BM from me. On his 1st lesson, he is able to construct simple sentences with his limited vocabulary. He is enjoying it. Mummy gets to make use of what she knows!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recently the boy did something that got me so enraged that I banned him from iPad. No iPad for weeks! So what did he do to kill boredom?
Make sculptures with everyday things..... Pretend play with self made props....
Reading even more books
Inventing stuff...A gold press machine complete with a conveyer belt and different levers and a pulley system
So parents, it is a good idea to impose gadget less days once in a while. It can seriously bring out the creativity and imagination of your children!

Reese:Mum, here is the Parthenon. A small scaled version.
Me: Why is the roof red?
Reese: I theorised that the roof was once red because of the tiles.
Reese: See how my structure was built? (Remove a small section to reveal the internal parts). I have added internal columns to stop the outer pillars from splaying out and causing the model to collapse.
He loves architecture and engineering... A very big possibility that he will one day choose a career in these areas.

The great library by Reese and daddy
Built by Reese and hubby. According to Reese, this is the great library. I am thankful to have a very supportive husband who loves his son to bits. Even after a tiring day at work he will still spend time with his son building stuff using Lego. He is Reese's mentor when it comes to Lego!!

The boy suddenly wanted to try his hand on drawing portraits..... This is a portrait of himself at the age of 40+ and smoking a dry ice pipe! Hehehe
Praying for his grandma at the hospital. This boy loves all his grandparents dearly. He was able to hang around the hospital for hours without whining. A good boy indeed.

Crazy boy gave me a shock one day. He shaved his head without my knowledge. He convinced his dad to let him do it. Grrrrr.... I don't like it at all.

Playing scientist. Simple fun with science apparatus we bought and inherited. :)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The boy's latest craze. Capital cities of the world.

The boy's 2 pet hamsters. Hopefully he will be responsible to care and love his pets.

Is he still using Sonlight as his main curriculum? There's hardly any mention of curriculum...Just curious. But I can see that he's certainly learning.... Good job!
Hi Lydia,
We no longer follows a curriculum. We mix and match to suit Reese's interest and pace. A curriculum is too rigid for him. I still select books from Sonlight for reading pleasure. Maybe one if these days... will write a post on what Reese is studying and using. :)
