We decided to give lapbooking a try. I went to The Works outlet and bought some blank cards. Staple two cards together in the middle makes an 8 page booklet.
Yesterday the Teacup Humans watched a few episodes of the BBC documentary series Life. They saw insects laying eggs, Larvae hatching and drying off before flying off to mate. We saw a Stalked Eyed Fly inflating its eyes. The male with the widest eye span wins the right mate with the females.
We saw Damselfly's laying their eggs underwater. We saw Australian wasps fighting over mating rights. The Teacup Humans were fascinated when one of the females was accidentally decapitated in the battle.
Today we watched Anatomy for Beginners. A fascinating show on Netflix, but it was aired on Channel 4 a few years ago. People had donated their body to science and they were dissected right there on stage in front of an audience and the cameras. We watched the first 3 episodes on Movement, Circulation and Digestion. We got part way through Reproduction then Netflix stopped working.
The Teacup Humans then designed and drew the cover for their lap booklet.
Here they are. I did mine last night as an example of what they could do.
They are from left to right, Big Teacup, Pink Teacup, Momma L
Curious Teacup, Noisy Teacup and then Mini Teacup.
They kind of got the idea, Noisy Teacup said she couldn't fit hers on the page so she drew the caterpillar on the back.
Tomorrow we will work on adding content.
Momma L and the Teacup Humans.
